A company representative will receive you at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer you to your hotel. Overnight at Hotel.
DAY 2 Visit Kathmandu city and Swayambhunath and then Visit Patan City. O/N at 3 Star Hotel - A, B & D.
Today, we will take a tour of Kathmandu city. Mostly ruled by kings, the history of Kathmandu has seen multiple rulers in the past with monarchy ending only in the last decade. In Kathmandu, we will able to see countless heritage sites, though many of them have gone through terrible loss in structures during the massive earthquake of 2015. We will visit Basantapur Durbar Square, a palace in whose premises, if lucky, we will also get a blessing from the living goddess—the Kumari. We will also visit Swayambhunath temple, a Buddhist temple that stands on a lone hill overlooking the Kathmandu valley. In the evening, we will make a visit to Patan city, where we will explore Patan Durbar square, which is another old palace complex. The multiple kingdoms that were prevailed here paved way to beautiful architecture which can be seen so easily in the temples and the wood and stone carvings. Both the palace squares hold in themselves the cultures of Kathmandu Valley. Overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.
DAY 3 Visit Pashupatinath and Boudhanath and then visit Bhaktapur City. O/N at 3 Star Hotel - A, B & D.
Any visit to Kathmandu isn’t complete without a visit to Pashupatinath temple. A Shiva temple, this is one of the temples of greatest significance to the Hindus. Every year millions of people come to pay their respects at Pashupatinath. The Pashupatinath temple complex also is a crematorium for the people of Hindu belief. We will see multiples of sages in the temple complex. From there, we will make our way to Boudhanath, which is one of the biggest Buddhist stupas in the world. Though situated in a busy part of Kathmandu, Boudhanath complex is itself a peaceful and serene place. With multiple food joints overlooking the stupa with Tibetan chants being played, Boudhanath is pure bliss. From there, we will move on to another side of Kathmandu Valley towards Bhaktapur, which too was one of the ancient kingdoms. Bhaktapur is the culture capital of Nepal as it has what we call the most authentic Nepalese art, food, and traditions. If lucky, we might be able to witness the chariot pulling ceremonies that take place every year. Overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.
