Itinerary

Post your breakfast at the hotel, our representative will pick you up from your hotel and briefly explain your travel activity for a day. Once you're ready (packing up water bottles or other utilities you might need in the way), we start our day to visit four powerful landmarks of Kathmandu Valley. 


Our first point is 20 minutes drive far from Thamel, Swayambhunath Stupa. Swayambhunath situated at hilltop also needs 5 mins of a short walk to reach the top offering you the panoramic view of the whole Kathmandu city. The oldest Buddhist stupa presents many shrines and temples around. The heritage environment gives you the deep spiritual vibe. Also known as Monkey temple, you can find a lot of monkeys around reflecting the strong mythology they represent. Post Swayambhunath, we head to Bouddhanath, the world's largest Tibetan Stupa which reflects more of Tibetan Buddhism. Situated at Bouddha (aka small Tibet), you can see many monks offering prayers. Both of these stupas gives you two diverse experience. Following Buddhism experience, our next spot is Pashupati Temple. Having huge religious importance, the Hindu way of cremation is also done here which might get disturbing to some of you (and you can choose not to enter to see) but very insightful and interesting to others. Some of you also have revealed this Pashupati Tour to be one of the most insightful and self-exploring reflective experiences in their Nepal. After spending an ample amount of time in here, we head to Patan Durbar Square situated at Patan, Lalitpur Our final stop is at Patan Durbar Square, one of the 3 durbar squares of the Valley. Representing 17th-century architecture, Durbar Square and its museum take you through the typical Nepalese life. This spot can take most of your time and is also amazing for the chill evening and patan Tea. Once you're ready to head back from Patan, we'll drop you back to your hotel.
