It showcases UNESCO world heritage sites which have rich architecture, it takes you to places of religious significance and it highlights the rich history of the country. Culture and heritage tour is not only about visiting cities, but its also about meeting people from different ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds. Asia has a lot of countries which have a very rich history and unique religion and people

Culture and tradition give a unique identity to a country.  Historically and culturally significant sites with centuries-old tradition are included in our Culture and City tour packages. Traveling is not only about visiting new places but meeting new people, knowing about new culture and tradition which eventually broadens your horizon.

People who visit Nepal rarely miss a chance to marvel at the fine craftsmanship of ancient times. Kathmandu's cultural tour will take you to three medieval kingdoms of Kathmandu valley and heritage sites listed in UNESCO. Among eight cultural heritage sites listed in UNESCO, Kathmandu valley is home to 7 of them. If you want to stroll in the traditional villages inhabited by Newars of Kathmandu valley then we have designed tours that will take you around the villages of Patan and Bhaktapur.

The best season to do cultural and city tours are spring, autumn, and early winter when it’s neither too hot nor too cold. The early mornings and late evenings in autumn and early winter may get a bit chilly. In summer, afternoons can be hot but morning and nights are cool. If you don’t mind touring in snow and rain then you can tour in monsoon and winter.

Third Rock Adventures
Everything was great. Naba was really helpful in plannign the itinerary. We customized the itinerary and added extra day in Pokhara and also in Bhaktapur. The price was reasonable, and in retrospect it was too good to be true considering the service he offered. His team are great and friendly. We also tipped them because of their extra care and great service. ...

We did this tour on recommendation by our dear friend Naba. We knew him since 2019. He is generous and always welcoming. His company has a great team who lead mountain treks and expedition in Nepal and also in Tibet, Bhutan, and India. Highly recommended trekking company in Nepal ...
flags Bailey Luna  
This slow and relaxed itinerary of exploring Pokhara and Kathmandu is an amazing trip, at least for me. In Kathmandu, the team let me explore unesco sites and stroll around Thamel as well. We drove to Pokhara and had mesmerizing sunrise. Also, I shouldnot forget to mention, special dinner in Thamel with Naba and his family ...

Guinness World Record holder Gives Third Rock Adventures a Review!

werner berger

Werner Berger is the Guinness Book of World Records holder for being the oldest person in the World to have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven (7) continents (incl. Mt. Everest).

I am Werner Berger and my "claim to fame" is probably best defined as being in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person in the world to have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, including Mt. Everest.

Little did I know my life was to change forever on my first trek into the Himalaya in 1992 at age 55. It was the beginning and just a matter time before I realized I could combine my leadership and climbing skills to create a program in which people could explore their own possibilities.

So, in 2010, I began leading Transformational Life Experiences, treks to Mt. Everest Base Camp and other high places.

One of the earliest keys to success is to find a company with the right mix of professionalism, support, and, of course, experience. I have used Naba Amgai and his teams on all my Nepal trekking adventures.

Naba's caring and climber support, is second to none. In my estimation, Third Rock Adventures is one of the very best in the business, in or outside of Nepal. They know the mountains. So you can relax, enjoy and transform.

- Werner Berger
