After the trip ends back in Kathmandu, visitors can explore the local marketplaces and buy Buddhist trinkets before leaving. This trip offers a unique combination of historical research, cultural immersion, and spiritual study.

The months of March through May and September through November are the ideal times to visit Kathmandu City and take a mountain flight.
The weather is usually stable and clear throughout these periods, making it possible to fly above the Himalayas with great visibility and breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other mountains.
The comfortable weather also makes it perfect for touring the city's marketplaces, temples, and cultural landmarks. Furthermore, these seasons align with significant celebrations like Dashain and Tihar, offering guests an opportunity to immerse themselves in Nepal's lively customs and culture.
