Daily Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive Kathmandu

Upon arrival, our representative will greet and transfer you to hotel in Kathmandu. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and the Kathmandu Valley is the political and cultural heart of the Kingdom. The urban sprawl that makes up modern Kathmandu is in fact two cities, Patan and Kathmandu.

Overnight at Hotel.

Day 2: Kathmandu Sightseeing

This morning you will be taken for a visit of the Hindu culture in Nepal, Pashupatinath Temple. This is the place where holy saddhus pray and cremations on the Bagmati River are carried out.

We then continue to the holiest shrine for the Buddhist culture in Nepal, Bouddhanath Stupa, with its large stupa, this is the place where all devout Buddhists come for a pilgrimage. After completion of these two spots, you will be taken for a visit to Patan Durbar Square. Also known as Lalitput, the city of beauty is separated from Kathmandu only by the Bagmati River and is the second largest town in the valley. Lalitpur is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive architectural ancient masterpieces.

Patan Durbar Square is absolutely packed with temples: It’s an architectural center point with a far greater concentration of temples per sq. meter than in Kathamandu or Bhaktapur. Within the city also lies the Tibetan refugee center, home to most of the valley’s Tibetan population. While technically refugees, the Tibetans are some of the wealthiest people in the valley because of the carpet industry they operate. For those looking to bring home a fine Tibetan carpet, this is the place to shop.

You will then go to Swayambhunath Stupa the golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhu stupa is adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags; it crowns a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley and offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu. Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the most recognizable symbols in Nepal and the painted eyes of Buddha watch all who ascend the worn stone steps.
