- Swayambhunath Temple - Kathmandu Durbar Squire which is situated in the heart of old Kathmandu city at Basantapur, it never fails to impress first time visitors with its ensemble of palaces, courtyards and temples built during the Malla period. The Durbar Square includes the Hanuman Legends say that Swayambhu was conceived out of a lotus blossom that sprouted amidst a lake that once spread over the Kathmandu Valley. The biggest picture of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal sits on a pedestal on the western limit of Swayambhu. Behind the ridge is a temple committed to Manjusri or Saraswati - the Goddess of learning. Chaityas, statues, and holy places of Buddhist and Hindu divinities fill the stupa complex.

Fabulous city tour - I had a layover en route to Bhutan, and this was a fabulous way to spend the day, in beautiful December sunshine.
My guide Birodh really took his time at each site to explain the history and culture/customs, answered all of my questions, and gave me ample opportunity to take all of the photos I wanted. We also had a very pleasant stop for drinks and snacks overlooking the iconic Stupah, and included a bonus stop at the 'monkey temple' - plenty of time to watch the entertaining macaque families...
A very worthwhile, highly recommended tour

100% recommended - Our guide Birodh was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and also very caring. He was intuitive enough to keep us (the group) safe throughout the tour.
On the other hand, the tour itself ticked every box on my list. Nepal is beautiful. The temples and the peacefulness within the temples were much needed for me. So glad Birodh took me to the Pashupatinath temple and helped do a bit of prayer. That was the main highlight of the tour, for me. 100% recommended

Exploring Kathmandu - Great day exploring the historical sites of Kathmandu, Birodh provide great details on the historical background of the Buddha’s, explain in great detail the culture of Nepal, and recommend a great restaurant for lunch. It was a busy day travelling throughout Kathmandu.
Great company and highly recommend booking your day tour with them.

Kathmandu in a day! - If you want to hit the four or five major Kathmandu heritage sights in one day, this is your tour! Exactly what we wanted and without the hassle of navigating public transportation. Birodh has extensive historical and religious knowledge that would satisfy even the most curious Hindu scholar! We got a great overview of the sights visited, but Birodh did an excellent job explaining some of the historical and religious connections among such a diverse and ancient civilization. Of course, the locations visited are of themselves a sensory overload of color, sounds, smells, and taste. Birodh took us to really cool places where there didn’t seem to be other tourists and that was an added benefit to the tour because it felt like we had a more unique experience, especially with the lunch. All in all, a great experience.

Understanding and perfect English made his talks on the sights we saw come to life. It was not just “if you have seen one temple you’ve seen them all”.
