Itinerary

Pick Up from Your Hotel

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Changu Narayan Temple

Before you head in, swing by the Changu Museum (Nepal’s first private museum) to get a feel for the local history. The place is packed with old-school charm, spiritual energy, and some seriously cool craftsmanship.

If you’re into ancient sites with a laid-back, mystical atmosphere, this is your spot.

Boudhanath Stupa

Visitors circle the stupa clockwise in a meditative kora, spinning prayer wheels and chanting mantras to earn blessings. More than just a place of worship, Boudha radiates peace and spiritual energy. Whether you’re seeking enlightenment or just awe-inspiring vibes, this sacred landmark leaves a lasting impression.

Pashupatinath Temple

The real magic happens during Shivaratri, when the temple comes alive with chanting, meditation, and all-night vigils honoring Shiva. Nearby, the Bagmati’s banks host open-air cremations—a raw, powerful glimpse into Hindu death rituals.

More than just a temple, Pashupatinath is where faith, culture, and life’s deepest cycles unfold. Whether you’re seeking blessings or just observing, its energy stays with you.

Lunch

Kathmandu Durbar Square

Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)

Swayambhunath Stupa—better known as the Monkey Temple—sits high on a hill, offering the best views of Kathmandu Valley. The iconic white dome, topped with Buddha’s all-seeing eyes, watches over the city like a spiritual guardian.

Climb the 365 stone steps (watch out for mischievous monkeys!) and you’ll be rewarded with sweeping valley panoramas and the hum of prayer wheels spinning in the breeze. More than just a postcard-perfect spot, this ancient stupa pulses with energy—equal parts sacred site and cultural landmark.

No trip to Kathmandu feels complete without soaking in the vibe here.
