Places to Visit During a Full-Day City Tour in Kathmandu
You will visit four heritage sites during one full-day city tour of Kathmandu. Our knowledgeable government-authorized tour guide takes you to those historical and religious heritage sites and provides lots of authentic information. The places you will visit during the Kathmandu excursion are listed below:
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square is an ancient royal palace established in the Malla ruling period. King Prithvi Narayan Shah moved his court from Gorkha to this place after he united Nepal in the 18th century. During the Kathmandu City visit, you can see Pagoda temples, a palace with beautiful yards, and many historical monuments on this tour site.
The living goddess Kumari is a prime attraction at Kathmandu Durbar Square. Our guide can teach you much about her culture, history, and beliefs, and you can also see her.
Syambhunath (Monkey Temple)
Syambhunath is a Buddhist site located on a hill station. Because monkeys live in this area, it is also known as the monkey temple, which is easier for tourists to pronounce than Syambhunath.
On this religious site, you can see Buddhist monuments like Maha Chaitya (great stupa), prayer flags, Mani wheels, monasteries, Buddha statues, and more. You can see the Kathmandu Valley view from the top of the hill. You will learn about this place's Buddhist religion, customs, and history from our guide during Syambhunath's visit. You can see white mountains if the weather is so clear from the Swayambhunath Stupa.
Pashupatinath Temple
The Pashupatinath Temple is a glorious Hindu site in Nepal. Millions of Hindu pilgrims visit it every year from within Nepal and other countries. Pilgrims hustle every day to offer offerings to God Shiva.
The temple allows Hindus to go inside to offer, so people other than Hindus can go to the cremation area and see an open cremation. Our tour guide can help you learn about Hindu and Buddhist funeral and death rituals by visiting this place.
Bouddhanath Stupa
The highest Buddhist stupa in Nepal and second in the world is the Bouddhanath stupa. It is a holy Buddhist site established in the 3rd/4th centuries. There are thousands of Buddhist pilgrims visiting this place. There will be several big Buddhist festivals and offerings.
