Kathmandu, Nepal

Day 3
Nagarkot – Kathmandu & Sightseeing (1.5 hrs drive)

Today we will wake up early in the morning to catch the sunrise and the beautiful view of the Himalayan panorama. Guests can wish to take a short walk to see the beautiful sights of the village of Nagarkot.

Drive back to Kathmandu and continue sightseeing to Kirtipur, which is one of the oldest towns in the Kathmandu Valley. Kirtipur contains a few Buddhist sites, both old & new. Chilancho Stupa is of historic importance. A Bihar has been made in Kirtipur, which contains the miniature sites representing Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, Bodh Gaya, where Buddha attained enlightenment, Sarnath, where Buddha gave his first teaching, and Kushinagar, where Buddha died.

Lastly, we will be visiting Swayambhunath Stupa (UNESCO World Heritage Site), also known as "Monkey Temple” The temple charms with its great, dazzling Stupa, while at the same time, offering a view of Kathmandu city. The two-thousand years-old Stupa is the most profound expression of Buddhist symbolism in Nepal. There’s evidence to believe the hill was used for animist rites even before Buddhism arrived in the valley two thousand years ago.

Day 4
Kathmandu Sightseeing

After breakfast, drive to the famous Kathmandu Durbar Square (UNESCO World Heritage Site), which is one of the major attractions in Kathmandu Valley. The word Durbar Square is translated into English as Palace Complex. The Durbar Square, with its old temples and palaces, epitomizes the religious and cultural life of the people. Interesting things to see here are Kumari (The Living Goddess) and Ghar (House). At the West end of the square is a beautiful house full of wood carvings of different gods and Goddesses. This Palace is three-storied, and in this palace lives the very famous living Goddess Kumari. Both Hindus and Buddhists equally venerate her. For Hindus, she is the reincarnation of the Hindu Goddess Kali. She is equally worshiped by Buddhists because she is chosen from a Buddhist family. This shows the harmony between Buddhists and Hindus in Nepal.

Lastly, we will visit the Great Stupa of Boudhanath (UNESCO World Heritage Site), a vast dome-shaped monument representing the Mind of the Buddha. It is the primary pilgrimage destination for Tantric Buddhists of the Himalayas and a major draw for Tibetan Buddhists from all over the planet.

In the evening, we will proceed to a farewell dinner with a cultural show.
