Itinerario
Wasya Dyaa, o el árbol del dolor de muelas, es un ídolo de madera ubicado cerca de Thahiti Tole en Katmandú, que se cree que cura los dolores de muelas. Tradicionalmente, se cree que martillar una moneda en la madera del árbol puede aliviar el dolor dental. Esta práctica proviene de creencias antiguas y continúa hoy en día, a pesar de la atención dental moderna. El árbol está asociado con el legendario Bangemudha, y muchos visitantes todavía vienen a rezar antes de ver a un dentista. Alrededor del templo, se ha desarrollado un centro dental, con más de 20 clínicas, algunas que datan del período Rana. Este lugar combina la mitología nepalesa y la atención médica moderna, y visitar Wasya Dyaa es una experiencia única para cualquier persona interesada en la cultura y la tradición locales, especialmente aquellos con dolor de muelas.
Al suroeste de Asan Tole, en el cruce de Kel Tole, el Templo Seto Machhindranath atrae tanto a budistas como a hindúes. Los budistas lo ven como Avalokiteshvara, mientras que los hindúes lo adoran como una encarnación lluviosa de Shiva. En el patio, encontrarás pequeños santuarios, chaityas (pequeñas estupas) y estatuas, incluida una figura femenina de aspecto europeo rodeada de velas. A las afueras del templo, dos elegantes estatuas de bronce de Tara están sentadas encima de pilares. En el interior, la imagen de rostro blanco de Seto Machhindranath está cubierta de flores. Aunque se desconoce la edad exacta del templo, fue restaurado en el siglo XVII. Al salir, verás el pequeño templo tántrico Almuerzo Lunbun Ajima, conocido por sus tallas eróticas. En las inmediaciones, las tiendas ofrecen ropa tradicional nepalesa, incluidos topi (sombreros) y daura suruwal (vestido tradicional), con versiones en miniatura para niños.
La Kumari, también conocida como la Diosa Viviente, es un símbolo sagrado de poder y pureza en Katmandú. El Kumari reside en el Kumari Ghar (Templo Kumari) en la Plaza Katmandú Durbar, y su presencia se considera una parte esencial del tejido espiritual y cultural de la ciudad.
El Palacio Hanuman Dhoka, situado en el corazón de la plaza Durbar de Katmandú, es un complejo histórico palaciego que fue la sede real de los reyes Malla y más tarde de la dinastía Shah. Su nombre proviene de la cercana estatua del dios mono Hanuman, que se cree protege a la familia real. El complejo palaciego, que data del siglo XVI, consta de varios edificios, patios, templos y santuarios. La estructura más notable es el edificio principal del palacio, que fue utilizado por los reyes y su corte durante siglos. La arquitectura del Palacio Hanuman Dhoka es un ejemplo impresionante de la arquitectura tradicional nepalesa del período Malla, con ventanas de madera talladas intrincadamente, pilares de piedra masivos y patios elaborados.

I had a lovely tour around Kathmandu with some great insights into the culture, the architecture and the history of the city.
Namaste and thanks for your review. Great to hear you enjoyed Kathmandu Durbar Square, it’s a special place where history, culture and architecture come alive. Happy you got those deeper insights. Please share your Nepal experience with friends and family, we'd love to welcome them here.
I did a free walking tour in Kathmandu with Santosh and really enjoyed it. He’s a knowledgeable and friendly guide who explains the city’s history in a clear and engaging way. The visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square was especially interesting, with great stories and context that you wouldn’t get on your own. Highly recommended—definitely worth it!

While in Nepal my boyfriend and I did the Kathmandu Durbar Square Tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours. Our tour guide was Santosh and he was fantastic! We walked from Thamel to Kathmandu Durbar Square first stopping at Seto Machindranath Temple. We then walked through several interesting areas, learning about the history of Nepal and the various religions and cultures, eventually arriving at Kathmandu Dubar Square. Santosh gave us a tour of the Hanuman Dhoka (Old Royal Palace), and the Kumari Ghar in hopes of seeing the Kumari herself (she did not show herself that day). We also walked past Freak Street, saw Kaal Bhairab, and walked around the Handicraft market. On the way back, we stopped at the Naradevi Temple and the Vaisha Dev Shrine, also known as the toothache tree, where people nail rupees to the tree in hopes of curing their tooth pain. We were looking for a tour with a small group (we lucked out and it was only the two of us), where we could learn a lot about the area and the history and culture of Nepal. This tour was perfect, long enough to learn a lot, but short enough to so some other adventures that day. As I hoped, Santosh taught us a lot about things we would have never learned. I especially liked learning about the fish in Asan, the tradition of hanging up images of snakes, and the religious imagery. I highly recommend taking a tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours while in Kathmandu!
Namaste and thanks for your review. Sounds like a great day walking from Thamel to Durbar Square with Santosh, that route really brings the city to life step by step. Nice to hear you both enjoyed it so much. Please share your Nepal experience with friends and family, we'd love to welcome them here. Cheers, Menno Amazing Kathmandu Tours

The city tour was a real highlight! Our guide told the city's history in a lively and engaging way. I especially enjoyed the little anecdotes and insider tips that you won't find in any guidebook. Very entertaining and highly recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Kathmandu Durbar Square and hearing the stories behind the temples, palaces and courtyards. Thanks again for the recommendation and we hope to see you again in Kathmandu!
Santosh from Amazing Kathmandu was a very punctual guide, with lots of local knowledge on religion, local customs and local stories. We had an amazing tour for 3 days. Even though I have been to Kathmandu several times, Santosh showed me several places I have never seen before that were truly amazing. We booked a private tour which was very convenient and could easily be adapted to our wishes. We can surely recommend Amazing Kathmandu for your travels and tours in Kathmandu and Nepal!
Dear Arvid, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted that Santosh could show you new places even after your many visits to Kathmandu. His local knowledge and passion for sharing Nepal's culture make every tour special. Best regards, Menno Amazing Kathmandu Tours
⭐️ I had an amazing tour of Kathmandu Durbar Square with Santosh! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and guided us to places I never would have discovered on my own.

I really enjoyed the Tour in a small group through the lively streets to Durbar Square. Santosh is a great guide and showed us many places off the Main Track I would have never seen otherwise. Thank you!
Namaste Breezie, Thank you so much for your review and for taking the time to share your experience!

Please tell your friends and family about Nepal - we'd be happy to welcome them! Cheers, Menno Amazing Kathmandu Tours
Santosh was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He gave me great advice on how to get around Kathmandu and even about trekking in Nepal. He took me through parts of the city I wouldn’t have explored on my own and assisted me with practical things like tickets for Durbar Square, a SIM card, and buses to Pokhara. He truly became my go-to person during my stay in Nepal.
Namaste and thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review! We're thrilled that Santosh could help you not just with the tour but also with practical advice for exploring Kathmandu and trekking in Nepal. Going the extra mile for our guests is what we do. Please share your Nepal experience with friends and family - we'd love to show them around too! Cheers, Menno Amazing Kathmandu Tours
