2nd Day: Visit all popular temples in
the Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. Go by Mini Bus or Micro Bus

800 to 900 Rs (i.e. about US$10 or less) for a full day taxi reservation for a

order to minimize the transportation cost and to accomplish
complete sight seeing in a day. (a) Visit the Bouddha Temple

relaxation and food, then go to Bhaktapur and Patan. If you are

Bargain; that's the first trade topic here! Spend your quality
evening time dinning out in any restaurants in the valley.
