Day 3
Nagarkot – Kathmandu & Sightseeing (1.5 hrs drive)
Today we will wake up early morning to catch the sunrise and beautiful view of 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 Kathmandu valley. Kirtipur contains few Buddhists sites both old & new. Cilancho Stupa is of historic importance. A Bihar has been made in Kirtipur, which contain the miniature sites representing Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, Boudhgaya where Buddha got enlightenment, Saranath where Buddha gave his first teaching and Kushinagar where Buddha died.
Lastly we will be visiting Swoyambhunath 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.
