Kathmandu Durbar Square. We will pick you up from your hotel and head towards our first destination of the day- Kathmandu Durbar Square. A popular and must-see place in Kathmandu, this square dates back to the 12th century. Also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, it was assigned a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1979. Taleju temple, Hanuman Dhoka, Kasthamandap, and Kumari Ghar are the major attractions of Kathmandu Durbar Square. After exploring this site, we will head towards Swayambhunath Temple.
Swayambhunath Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a popular tourist destination in Kathmandu. It is one of the oldest religious sites in Nepal, perched atop a hill overlooking Kathmandu valley. The enormous whitewashed dome with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha is visible from miles away. Climb 365 stone steps to the stupa and admire the splendid view it has to offer. Shantipur, Harati Devi Temple, Pratapur and Anantapur, Shree Karma Raj Mahavihar, and Vajra are the major attractions of this stupa. After spending quality time here, we will shortly visit Boudhanath Stupa.
One of the largest stupas in the world, Boudhanath Stupa is a prominent tourist attraction in Kathmandu. A few miles away from Thamel, this stupa was built around the 14th century. A popular and much-revered Buddhist religious site in Kathmandu, Boudhanath Stupa welcomes hundreds of travelers every day. Rising above the three-layered spherical Mandala, this stupa was designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1979.
The final destination for the day is Pashupatinath Temple, the holiest site for Hindus. The gilded pagoda-roofed temple dates back to 400AD and is the most important Hindu temple for the Hindus. A large bronze statue of Nandi the ‘Bull,’ the sacred vahana(vehicle) of Lord Shiva, guards the entrance. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1979. Western Cremation Ghats, Eastern Ghat, Shiva Shrines, Guhyeshwari Temple, and Ram Temples are some of the major attractions of this temple.
