Day 1 Private full day World Heritage sites in Kathmandu Tour
Your expert English speaking tour guide will meet you at your hotel at 10:30 am with their luxurious vehicle to take you for your 6-hour sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Valley, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath.
First, stop at Kathmandu Durbar Square. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kathmadu Durbar Sqaure is one of three Durbar Squares in Kathmandu Valley. Though a few buildings collapsed after the devastating earthquake on April 25th, 2015, you can observe the spectacular art and architecture of the ancient Malla and Shah dynasties. It is also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, derived from the statue of Hanuman at the entrance of ancient royal palace.
After that, head to Swayambhunath. Swayambhunath, also known as the "Monkey Temple", is situated on a small hillock on the west of Kathmandu city. It is a sacred place for Buddhist pilgrimages from all over the world. Large eyes painted on the four sides of the main stupa represent wisdom and compassion, and a dome at the base of Sutpa represents the entire world. Swayambhunath also could not escape from the devastating earthquake of April 25th, 2015, but one can still observe the art and architecture at Swayambhunath which is believed to date back to the beginning of 5th century.
Then, head over to Boudhanath Stupa. Boudhanath is located on the northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, is the largest stupa in the world and is a sacred site for Buddhist pilgrimages. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, Boudhanath is on the ancient trade route between Nepal and Tibet. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha. Founded by Licchivi King, Boudhanath has had minor damage caused by the earthquake on the 25th of April, 2015.
Following your time there, head to Pashupatinath. The sacred Hindu shrine Pashupatinath is located on the bank of the Bagmati River to the eastern side of Kathmandu. Believed to be built by Supuspa Deva, a Licchivi King, Pashupatinath was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. The main temple of Pashupatinath was built using Pagoda style architecture with four main doors. The two levels of the roof are made of copper with a gold coating and they have a gold pinnacle. The inner sanctorum is the place where the main idol is placed, and the outer sanctorum is an open corridor like space. Though some of the buildings in the Pashupati area are damaged, the main building was untouched by the earthquake of April 25th, 2015 earthquake.
At 4:30 pm, your sightseeing tour ends and your guide drop you off at your Hotel.

We found ourselves completely immersed in breathtaking landscapes and soothing hot springs during our trek, making every day’s journey a blend of adventure and relaxation. Our overnight stays were cozy and welcoming, but a little more variety in the meal options would have been appreciated.

The natural hot springs were a blissful reward after our long days of trekking, providing the perfect way to unwind. While the meals were generally satisfying, a bit more variety would have elevated our experience even further.

Our recent journey through the breathtaking landscapes was nothing short of transformative. Each day unfolded with invigorating treks that led us to stunning vistas, and the natural springs were a soothing reward after our hikes. The meals were delightful, showcasing local flavors that kept our energy up while fueling our adventures. We appreciated the well-organized itinerary that allowed us to explore each unique aspect of the region without feeling rushed. One minor suggestion would be to provide a bit more information about the cultural significance of the areas we traversed. Overall, the experience was enriching and offered a perfect balance of activity and relaxation, leaving us reinvigorated for our return to the business world.
