Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Sjældent besøgt af turister, dette gamle buddhistiske monument af indfødte Newar folk er også kendt som Thambahil. Faktisk er turistbyen Thamel opkaldt efter dette historiske monument.
Asan er det ældste levende marked i Kathamndu, hvor lokalbefolkningen køber og sælger varer til daglig brug fra grøntsager til tøj og metalgenstande til spirituelle genstande. Vi har et ordsprog, der siger, at på Asan Bazaar finder du ting fra 'Salt til guld!'
Det er en indfødt guddom af Kathmandu og tibetanske buddhister, kendt som Avalokitesvara, eller medfølelsesguden, helligdommen har 108 indgraverede ikoner af Avalokitesvara, der repræsenterer alle hans hovedformer. Lokale hengivne besøger helligdommen for at modtage velsignelser i håb om at opfylde alle deres ønsker.
Itum Bahal plejede at være et af de største buddhistiske klostre i det gamle Kathmandu. Klosterkomplekset fra det 11. århundrede har en resterende del af den oprindelige klosterbygning og gårdhaver til gudinden Tara og Manjushree. Området har også andre monumenter i nærheden. Det lille museumsrum i klosterkomplekset giver besøgende et glimt af lokal Newari-kunst, arkitektur og åndelig praksis.
Kathmandu Durbar-pladsen, det 17. århundredes palads for konger af Nepal, er et perfekt eksempel på nepales traditionelle kunst og arkitektur. Pladsen er omgivet af forskellige templer. Kumari-templet blandt dem er den levende gudinde Kumaris hus.
Inden for Kathmandu Durbar-pladsen er den levende gudinde Kumaris hjemsted ikke at gå glip af. Den tre hundrede år gamle kunstneriske bygning er et fint eksempel på Nepals traditionelle kunst og arkitektur. Desuden kan du, hvis du er heldig, se den levende gudinde, som nogle gange dukker op for publikum for besøgende og tilbedere fra sit private kapel på øverste etage af Kumari-templet.
Fra Kathmandu Durbar Square tur fortsætter gennem den gamle bydel til denne buddhistiske Stupa kompleks af Kathesimbu eller Dharmakirti Vihara. Komplekset huser kopi af Swayambhu Stupa den vigtigste pilgrimssted for buddhister. Stupa-komplekset huser buddhistiske klostre af tibetanske, Newari Vajrayana og Theravada klostre. Det er kun et sted, hvor man kan være vidne til klostre af forskellige buddhistiske sekter.
Afslut turen tilbage i turistbyen Thamel på dette dejlige café med en drink efter eget valg (inkluderet) og afspejle dagen med guide i en afslappet chat eller spørgsmål svar.

Highly recommend this walking tour. I saw all of the highlights including local areas. My guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the history of Kathmandu.
It was a wonderful experience and the guide, Mr. Mahesh Shreshtha was very experienced. I walked around the city with him and enjoyed the tour.
An interesting and informative tour i visited a lot of places I'd never have managed on my own. A great introduction to the history and religions of Nepal
My tour went super enjoyable with my experienced guide Mani, who was very knowledgeable about all cultural things, which really enriched my experience and he was open to all kind of questions. I was guided to small alleys and encountered daily life of Nepalese that usual visitors may seldom have chance to see. Something unexpected happened before my tour and I really appreciated Three Jewels to accommodate my special need. Highly recommend them if you are looking for something exceptional.
I stayed in Tameru for four days. As I was traveling alone, I was anxious and lacking knowledge, so I joined this tour. The tour was very intense, and it went around efficiently, explaining a lot. They helped me a lot with everything I wanted to know and was having trouble with, even if it was about something other than what I was visiting on tour. I've seen many different guides in different countries, but I've never been so kind. I hope to revisit Nepal again soon to participate in another tour. Thank you very much.
I had such a fun and educational day with my tour guide, Amber. I had the chance to see Kumari, the living goddess, and enjoyed delicious street food as well as Nepali and Indian sweets at a hidden gem of a shop. This tour really deepened my understanding of Nepal's religion and history. I shared with Amber where I had already visited (Pokhara and Bandipur), and he made connections, helping me understand the significance of those places in a new light. I highly recommend this tour—it truly makes every temple and view more meaningful and contextual!
This was a one of a kind city tour in Kathmandu. I discovered the neighbourhoods where tourist do not come in, visited several temples and saw the living goddess Kumari at the former royal palace. Other sights included local medicine plant stores, pottery workshops and public baths. My guide Amber was very kind, knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. At the end of the trip, I had dal bhat which is a delicious traditional meal in Nepal. I heartfully recommend this tour and guide, if you want to experience Kathmandu off the beaten track.
NICE GUIDE, A WONDERFUL TRIP ROUND KATMANDU WITH GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACES WE SAW. THE MEAL WAS TYPICAL NEWARI, WE ADVICE THIS TOUR
I am really glad I did this tour. It perfectly combines some of the must-see popular places in Kathmandu with strolls down the lesser-path streets. Which was a perfect, much-preferred way of travel for me. Especially if someone has limited time. I was presented with much history and information to help me understand Nepal as I embark on a two-month trip here. And we closed it off nicely with a great meal at the end of the tour. Highly recommend.
The Old Kathmandu Tour with Three Jewels Adventures was outstanding! Such an amazing, rich experience and at an unrivaled value. Amber Tamang provides a unique, indigenous, historical perspective of Old Kathmandu city. He is an incredibly articulate, kind, wise and well-educated professional. I knew Amber Tamang from our trek together the previous week from Pokhara, and was eager to continue to learn from him in the city as he is a Kathmandu resident. Amber met me at my hostel at 8:30 am and we finished at 1:00 pm with lunch near Swayambhu temple. I was so lucky to have a one-on-one experience on the tour. They take care not to over-book tours so you’re not left in the back of a tour group missing crucial historical facts. At the end of the tour you sit down for lunch to connect over dal bhat (traditional delicious Nepali lunch) so you can continue to ask questions about what you witnessed on the tour. You’ll walk a very manageable amount and also take taxis across town when needed. All taxis, food, tea and treats are included. If I tried to go to these places by myself I would end up paying way more as a Westerner... And it is crucial to have a good guide to explain nuances that you would otherwise never notice or have access to understanding around Kathmandu- trust me, I tried to go on my own walking tours for a week before booking a formal tour with Three Jewels Adventures! I experienced and learned so much about Kathmandu, temples, the Durbar square and culinary experiences in ways I was unable to achieve on my own. We visited the site of ancient marketplaces, temples, the square, museums, the Kumari, Swayambhu and many more epic spots! Having someone local to speak to and ask questions of transforms the experience entirely. I would take this tour again just to ask more questions and retain more! Thanks so much Amber and Three Jewels Adventures!
