What to expect

  1. Pashupatinath Temple
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Pashupatinath is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal, and one of the 275 Holy Abodes of Shiva on the continent. It is believed to date back to 400 A.D. It is the preferred site of cremation for Hindus, as it is situated along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River; ashes swept into this river eventually reach the Holy Ganges.
  2. Boudhanath Stupa
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The Boudhnath Stupa is one of the most important Buddhist sites and one of the largest in the world. A considerable number of Tibetan exiles live in the surrounding streets. Colourfully clothed monks sell beautiful Tibetan texts and artwork.
  3. Kathmandu Durbar Square
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The Kathmandu Valley has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its rich history has resulted in the beautiful cultural, artistic and architectural fusion that is seen today. Elaborate temples, monasteries and courtyards crafted by Newar artisans during the Malla Empire from the 12th to the 17th century, are monuments of the appreciation the Malla nobility had for art and architecture, and their gradual conversion from Buddhism to Hinduism.
  4. Swaymbhunath
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple, as there are hundreds of cheeky monkeys living around the temple. Swayambhunath literally means the Self-Created. A climb up the steep stairway of 365 steps brings you to the splendid hill-top monastery from where you get a great view of the city.
