• Boudhanath Stupa - The tour guide and driver will collect you from your hotel. Boudhanath Stupa is located approximately 4 miles from the center of Kathmandu city. It is one of the largest stupas globally and a key site for the Kathmandu Buddhist Tour in the Kathmandu Valley. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, it is surrounded by Tibetan settlers, offering the ambiance of a small Tibetan village. While visiting, take a walk around the stupa, spin the Mani wheels (prayer wheels), and find tranquility among the many monks chanting prayers in harmony.
• Kopan Monastery - After navigating through daytime traffic, the tour proceeds to another significant Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Kathmandu Valley, the renowned Kopan Monastery. This monastery follows the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism and is led by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is home to over 360 monks, lamas, teachers, and other staff. Visitors from around the globe come here to attend Buddhism courses and immerse themselves in the spiritual atmosphere for study and practice. The monastery is particularly noted for teaching Buddhism to visiting Western foreigners. It also operates a nunnery with 360 nuns, many of whom are refugees from Tibet. Besides its spiritual ambiance, the monastery offers a stunning view of the Kathmandu Valley.
• Swayambhunath Temple - Following the visit to Kopan Monastery, the tour heads to Thamel for lunch. A table will be reserved at The Ship Restaurant and Bar, where you can savor a delicious meal of traditional Nepalese Dal-Bhat (lentil soup, rice, seasonal vegetables, and meat) or choose any Western dish you prefer.

After a satisfying lunch, the tour continues to Swayambhunath Temple, a major highlight of the Kathmandu Pilgrimage Tour. Swayambhunath is perched on a hilltop overlooking Kathmandu city; its temple crown gleams in the afternoon sun, with prayer flags fluttering above. According to legend, the entire valley was once a vast lake, from which a lotus emerged, giving the valley the name Swayambhu, meaning “Self-Created.” This site is also a crucial stop for Buddhist pilgrims on their Kathmandu pilgrimage tour. Ascend the 365 steps to reach the “Swayambhunath” Stupa, also known as the “Monkey Temple,” home to groups of playful monkeys.
