Let\u2019s see some of the worth-visiting places that should be included in any of your Nepal tour packages: 1. Kathmandu Your Nepal trip would be incomplete without including Kathmandu in it. Kathmandu is a place that is charming, and lively in its own way. It showcases peace and hustle-bustle altogether. The place is totally metropolitan but completely serene. And, such a place shouldn\u2019t be missed by you if you\u2019re planning to visit Nepal. The place welcomes you with all the warmth to witness its comforting climate and alluring spots. Let\u2019s discuss the pieces of allure that you can visit in Kathmandu: Lumbini If you are into spirituality and adore Lord Buddha, then Lumbini must remain in your hit list while you travel to Nepal. Lumbini is Lord Buddha\u2019s birthplace, and you can feel the essence of peace and tranquility while being there. Lumbini lies in the Terai belt of Nepal and is a heavenly abode for all the pilgrims. Situated in the Kapilvastu district, Lumbini showcases many sites for devotees, such as Maya Devi Temple (the place having Bodhi Tree), Ashoka Pillar, Myanmar Golden Temple, World Peace Pagoda, China Temple, Lumbini Museum, and Dharma Swami Maharaja Buddha Vihar, etc. Everest Base Camp Trek If you intend to experience the thrill and fun within, then Everest Base Camp Trek can give you the same vibes.

Durbar Square The Durbar Square in Kathmandu comes under one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There are in total three squares in Kathmandu valley; durbar square comes amongst them. Here, Durbar means Palace, i.e., the place that is owned by a prince. It is a well-known spot for Hindus, as well as, Buddhists. The place comprises all the spiritual and holy vibes containing various ceremonies, coronations, and events. The place is all about old-time statues, ancient architecture, fountains, alluring ponds, and beauteous courtyards. The place offers space to meditate to the ones who seek tranquility. The inner complex comprises Old &amp; Royal Palaces, while the outer complex includes various pagoda-styled temples, some of which belong to the sixteenth century. Swayambhunath Stupa While on a\u00a0Nepal tour, you cannot miss out on Swayambhunath Stupa. The same is also called the Monkey Temple. It is situated in the Kathmandu valley\u2019s northwest side. The Stupa or Dome is considered as a holy symbol of faith by the devotees. Be it Hindu or Buddhist pilgrims; the Stupa holds equal importance to both. The actual allure of Kathmandu valley can be seen from Swayambhunath Stupa only. It is one amongst the oldest structures in Kathmandu, i.e., extremely unique in its own way. Due to it including various monasteries and shrines within, the Stupa is adored by all the tourists and pilgrims. Boudhanath Stupa When talked about Buddhist beliefs and traditions, Boudanath Stupa holds the prime importance. The Stupa gives human-like vibes due to it owning always-awake eyes and tranquil aura. The Stupa was constructed in the fourteenth century, and it was built after Lord Buddha passed away. The Boudhanath Stupa involves a dome, which has a Buddhist pyramidal tower at the top. And, the whole structure sets on mandalas, which are actually huge steps. Nepalese also call it \u2018ChortenChenpo,\u2019 which means \u2018Great Stupa.\u2019 Hanuman Dhoka Temple This temple lies within Durbar Square in Kathmandu valley. It\u2019s a complex structure having the palaces of the Shah dynasty, and Malla kings. The temple spreads in approx. five acres\u2019 area. It is extremely well-known among Hindus, due to it being devoted to the Hindu deity, Lord Hanuman. Hanuman Dhoka is actually a royal palace founded in the Licchavi era, i.e., 4th-8th centuries AD. Due to Lord Hanuman being the greatest assistant and helping hand to Lord Rama, the temple has kept Lord Hanuman\u2019s statue to guard the entrance. The statue here is red-color cloaked and is sheltered through an umbrella. Shechen Monastery In your Nepal tour packages, you must include ShechenMonastery, as its one amongst the mother monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism, i.e., Nyingma tradition. The monastery was in Tibet at first. It got destroyed in 1950 when the cultural revolution was happening. Then, the monastery was built again in the year 1985 in Nepal.
