Itinerary
-
Explore The Historic Sites In The Kathmandu Valley
- Meet the guide at your hotel and drive to the first destination.
- Reach the Patan Durbar Square, positioned in the heart of Patan city. The Square and its atmosphere provide fine examples of antique Newari architecture. Explore the palace, which has three main courtyards, the central and the oldest being the Mul Chowk. To the complex's west are a dozen gratis-standing temples of different sizes and styles.
- Tour the Krishna Mandir, the Bhimsen Mandir, the Temple of Hiranya Varna Mahavira, and the Sundari Chowk.
- Make your way to the Swyambhunath Stupa, a magnificent Buddhist Stupa around 2000 years old. Tourists often describe it as a Monkey Temple. This is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Other temples, along with the Tibetan monasteries, encircle the core stupa of Lord Buddha. From here, one can view the entire valley of Kathmandu.
- Visit the Pashupatinath Hindu temple, set on the banks of the Bagmati River in Deopatan, a village 3 km northwest of Kathmandu. This holy place is a magnet for thousands of pilgrims yearly and has become well-known far beyond the Kathmandu Valley. The temple is banned for non-Hindus, but they can have an excellent outlook of the temple from the river's opposite bank.
- Head to Bouddhanath, the center for Tibetan culture in Nepal. The 36-meter-high stupa of Bouddhanath is one of the largest stupas in South Asia. The stupa is said to entomb a Kasyap sage's leftovers honoured to Buddhists and Hindus. Smaller stupas are situated at the base.
That will conclude your tour.
