Kathmandu full day sightseeing, evening welcome dinner at typical Nepali Restaurant with cultural Show

Kathmandu Durbar Square - Your knowledgeable English-speaking tour guide will meet you at your hotel at 10:30 am with a luxurious vehicle for a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Valley, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath.

First, visit Kathmandu Durbar Square. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kathmandu Durbar Square is one of three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley. Despite some buildings collapsing after the earthquake on April 25th, 2015, you can still admire the stunning art and architecture of the ancient Malla and Shah dynasties. Also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, its name comes from the statue of Hanuman at the entrance of the ancient royal palace.

Swoyambhu Mahachaitya - Next, head to Swayambhunath, also known as the “Monkey Temple,” located on a small hill to the west of Kathmandu city. It is a sacred site for Buddhist pilgrims worldwide. The large eyes painted on the four sides of the main stupa symbolize wisdom and compassion, while the dome at the base represents the entire world. Although Swayambhunath was affected by the earthquake on April 25th, 2015, you can still see the art and architecture dating back to the 5th century.

Boudhanath Stupa - Then, visit Boudhanath Stupa. Located on the northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, it is the largest stupa in the world and a sacred site for Buddhist pilgrims. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, Boudhanath lies on the ancient trade route between Nepal and Tibet. The stupa is said to contain the remains of Kassapa Buddha. Founded by Licchivi King, Boudhanath suffered minor damage from the earthquake on April 25th, 2015.

Pashupatinath Temple - Afterward, head to Pashupatinath. This sacred Hindu shrine is located on the bank of the Bagmati River on the eastern side of Kathmandu. Believed to have been built by Supuspa Deva, a Licchivi King, Pashupatinath was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. The main temple features Pagoda-style architecture with four main doors. The two levels of the roof are made of copper with a gold coating, topped with a gold pinnacle. The inner sanctum houses the main idol, while the outer sanctum is an open corridor-like space. Although some buildings in the Pashupati area were damaged, the main temple remained untouched by the earthquake on April 25th, 2015.

Bhojan Griha - In the evening, enjoy dinner at a typical Nepali restaurant with a cultural show.
