Swayambhunath

The next day, we will guide you for sightseeing of four outstanding heritages inside Kathmandu valley. Firstly, you will visit Swayambhunath, an impressive Buddhist temple located on the western hilltop of Kathmandu valley. From the hilltop, you will see an astonishing view of the ever-growing city of Kathmandu which you’ll see creeping up the hills around the valley. This temple also is infamous in the name of “monkey temple”  as monkeys can be roaming around the temple. But, since these monkeys have already grown friendly to the visitors to the temple there is nothing to worry about.

Kathmandu Durbar Square

Afterwards, you’ll get to visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, a plaza of Royal Palace of former Kingdom and former residence of Nepalese Royalties before they shifted to Narayanhiti Royal Palace. The Durbar square is also the home of Nepal’s Living Goddess ‘Kumari’, statue of god Kal Bhairab, Shiva Parvati temple, and other monuments. Visiting this palace gives you the knowledge of the authentic art and architecture of Nepal.

Boudhanath

Later on, we will take you for a visit to Boudhanath. The Bouddhanath is the biggest Buddhist Stupa in Nepal that is structured as an outstanding mandala shaped plinth. People who follow Tibetan Buddhism believe this is the holiest Buddhist temple outside Tibet. The neighbourhood around the temple provides a home away from home to Tibetan refugees since the 1950s.
