This morning you are taken on a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu visiting amongst others the Temple of Kumari, the residence of the living Goddess, with its carved wooden balconies and windows and the fabulous Buddhist stupa of Swayambhunath, which is said to be over 2,000 years old.
In the afternoon you visit Patan City or “the City of Fine Arts” as it is also known. Here you visit Patan Durbar Square, situated in the heart of the city and full of Hindu temples and Buddhist monuments. It consists of three main ‘chowks’ (courtyards), the central Mul Chowk, Sundari Chowk and Keshav Chowk. With the assistance of your guide you get to explore this interesting area, dating back hundreds of years. (BD)
After breakfast you will be taken to Boudhanath, which is possibly the world’s largest Buddhist stupa and a site of great veneration for Buddhists. You also visit Pashupatinath, the most sacred of Hindu temples in Nepal, situated on the banks of the holy Bagmati River.
In the afternoon you are taken to Bhaktapur City or the “City of Devotees” as it is sometimes called. It is shaped like a conch shell and was the setting for the major Hollywood production The Little Buddha. Following this visit you are returned to your hotel in Kathmandu. (B)
