4-Day Kathmandu Heritage Tour with UNESCO Sites and Durbar Squares

Packing List: This list has been compiled from our experience. Use it as an informal guideline only. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything on the list, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and practically. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind there is a weight limit on baggage on the plane. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in-country.
