Kathmandu Day Tour


Trip Overview

Kathmandu Day Tour is a significant visit to UNESCO World Heirtage Sites. These popular heritage sites in Kathmandu include Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swyombhunatha Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple and Bouddhanath stupa.

Kathmandu Day Tour first takes us to Kathmandu Durbar Square. Massive Kal Vairab statue, the palace representing ancient history and civilization of Nepal, museum, Kumari, the living goddess and serene surrounding are the major attractions of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The wood carvings, magnificent art and architecture also tempt the tourists to explore it.

Swyombhunatha Stupa located atop hill is another highlight of Kathmandu Day Tour. This massive stupa is entirely dedicated to Gautam Buddha. Buddhists followers find Swyombhunath Temple/ Stupa one of the world’s holy sites to visit.

The temple or stupa is surrounded by lush forest releasing fresh air to the visitors. It is also a perfect place for jogging, meditation, exercise and yoga. A large numbers of city dwellers are found jogging and doing various kinds of exercises in the morning and evening. It is 20 minutes walk form Thamel.

Another interesting thing about Swyombhunath Temple is that we have a huge number of monkeys jumping from one to another tree. Monkey lovers love to love monkeys at Swyombhunath temple.

Bouddhanath, the largest stupa in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Kathmandu valley is 7 km away towards north east from Thamel. This massive stupa is located at Bouddha in Kathmandu. The calm surrounding, the paintings and Thankas, souvenirs, and most significantly, the huge and unbelievable Bouddhanath Stupa is absolutely fabulous.

Kathmandu Day tour is incomplete without visiting Pashupatinath Temple. Pashupatinath Temple is a worldwide popular Hindu Pilgrimage site located at the bank of Bagmati river. The temple representing ancient Hindu religious  site offers beautiful art and architecture. The cremation of Hindus at the bank of Bagmati river is a thing to explore and observe.
