Our day tour in Kathmandu includes a visit to Kathmandu durbar square, Swoyambhunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath temple. It also includes several religious monuments.

We will begin our day with a visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square. It is located in the heart of old Kathmandu city at Basantapur. It never fails to impress first-time visitors with its collaborative palaces, courtyards, and temples built during the Malla period. The Durbar Square includes the Hanuman Dhoka Royal Palace, Kumari Ghar- the living goddess and the splendid Teleju temple towering more than 40 meters. The capital takes its name from the huge and most important pagoda of Kasthamandap. Since, the time of the Malla kings, Durbar Square has been the city’s social, religious, and political main point.

After the short tour around the Durbar Square area, we will take a bus towards the Swoyambhunath. Swoyambhunath, located on a mound 3 km west of Kathmandu is one of the holiest Buddhist chaityas in Nepal. It is said to have changed unexpectedly when the valley was created out of a primitive lake more than 2,000 years ago. The Stupa is the oldest of its kind in Nepal which has numerous stupas and monasteries on its principles.

In the afternoon we will visit Pashupatinath Temple, located on the bank of the holy Bagmati river in the eastern part of Kathmandu valley. The two-tiered pagoda consists of beautiful golden roofs and stunning silver doors that house the sacred linga or phallic icon of Lord Shiva. History indicates the temple existed before 400 A.D. There are more than hundreds of Shiva lingam within the compound which is beautifully festooned. Near the Pashupatinath Temple on the banks of the Bagmati River lies Guhesshwori. Nearby is the temple of Guheshwori dedicated to Shiva's consort, Sati Devi.
