Itinerary - Sightseeing
Day 01: Arrival to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, our staff will come to pick you up at Tribhuvan International airport and then they will transfer you to the hotel as per your booking.
Day 02: We rise early and join pilgrims from across the Himalaya to visit Swayambhu (the Monkey temple) , the best known of all the valley’s shrines. The golden spire of Swayambhunath stupa crowns a wooded hillock, which has been a holy site since ancient times. Historical records of its existence date back to the 5th century but the stupa’s origins may go back even further. Swayambhu is one of the most recognizable religious symbols in Nepal, revered by hindus and Buddhists alike. The central stupa offers a magnificent backdrop for photographing the morning devotional rituals, and also provides a sweeping view down to Kathmandu city below, which will just be waking up and starting the new day. Return to the hotel for breakfast.
Later in the morning, we visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, one of three durbars (royal palaces) in the Kathmandu Valley. It was initially constructed in the 16th century, although subsequent additions were made in the Shah (gurkha) dynasty in the 18th century and by the rana rulers in the 19th century. The palace is decorated with elaborately carved windows and panels, and it houses the King Tribhuvan Memorial Museum, dedicated to the monarch who opened Nepal to the outside world.
After lunch, we visit Pashupati (Pashupatinath) , the valley’s most important hindu temple. Pilgrims from across the Indian subcontinent, Nepal, Pakistan, and Central asia come to Pashupati to pay their respects to the Lord Shiva, one of the most prominent and beloved hindu gods. This fascinating temple complex straddles the holy Bagmati River and features a pagoda-style temple with a golden roof, silver doors and fine inset wood carvings. The lingam — phallic symbol of Shiva — is present everywhere in the art and architecture of Pashupati. The jungle that surrounds the temples is inhabited by rhesus monkeys and songbirds. Many Sadhus (holy men and ascetics) who have devoted their lives to Shiva have made the Pashupati area their home. They paint their bodies with ashes, wear loincloths, and are adorned by tika and rudraksha malla (beads).
We then visit Boudhanath Stupa, Nepal’s principal religious shrine for Tibetan Buddhists. This enormous stupa lies at the center of a thriving community of monasteries, monks and devotees. Its enormous white dome is adorned with countless strands of colorful prayer flags and topped by the all-knowing eyes of the Buddha.
Patan is the third of the Kathmandu Valley’s ancient royal cities. Patan’s Durbar Square is yet another UNESCO World heritage Site, noted for its architectural wonders and ornate artistry. The award-winning Patan Museum provides a fascinating lesson in Nepalese history, religion and culture, all set in a beautifully restored wood-beamed building. Lunch will be in the museum’s garden restaurant. After lunch we will roam the back streets of Patan, visiting the traditional Newari wood-working, coppersmith, and sculpture casting workshops. And then return to the Kathmandu and overnight stay at hotel as per your bookings.
Day 03: From the early morning we visit to Bhaktapur city which is full of the UNESCO World Heritages. In the Sanskrit language, Bhaktapur means “the town of Devotees”. This medieval city is also known as Bhadgaon, and is an ancient town of the Newari people, the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. It was the capital of the great Malla Kingdom from the 12th to the 15th century, when many of the temples and palaces that we’ll see were constructed. Bhaktapur is well known for its traditional architecture, pottery and weaving. We’ll walk the back alleys and cobblestone streets, seeing artisans at work amidst impressive temples and sculptures. After dinner we enjoy a peaceful walk around Nyatapola and Dattatraya temples. Over 100 feet high, Nyatapola is the tallest temple in the Kathmandu Valley. Built by King Bhupatindra Malla in 1708 A.D., each of its five terraces holds a pair of figures carved in stone: wrestlers, elephants, lions, griffins and goddesses.
