Itinerary
Travelers will visit Kathmandu’s Durbar Square where the city’s kings were once crowned and legitimised, and from where they ruled (durbar means palace). As such, the square remains the traditional heart of the old town and Kathmandu’s most spectacular legacy of traditional architecture.
Most important Hindu temple stands on the banks of the holy Bagmati River, whose date of origination is unknown. Oldest known Hindu Temple of Nepal dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Grace and purity of line, no other stupa in Nepal comes close to Boudhanath. From its whitewashed dome to its gilded tower painted with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, the monument is perfectly proportioned. Explore Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal where Gautam Buddha was born.
Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the crowning glories of Kathmandu Valley architecture. This perfectly proportioned monument rises through a whitewashed dome to a gilded spire, from where four iconic faces of the Buddha stare out across the valley in the cardinal directions.
