Description

Discover Kathmandu through the lens of a camera and uncover hidden stories tucked away within centuries-old alleyways, bustling bazaars, sacred shrines, and living heritage neighborhoods. This immersive photography experience is designed for travelers who want to capture authentic moments while exploring the cultural heart of Nepal.

Led by a professional local photographer, the tour focuses on street photography, architecture, portraiture, travel storytelling, and creative composition. Guests venture beyond the usual tourist routes into hidden courtyards (Tole), traditional markets, artisan workshops, and sacred spaces where daily life unfolds against a backdrop of ancient temples and Newari architecture.
