Overview of Kathmandu Day Tour

For the Kathmandu Day Tour, you will be picked up from your hotel by car or vehicle in the morning and taken to Kathmandu Durbar Square. It is the home of the living goddess Kumari, with over 60 temples, a palace, and a museum. The Durbar Square presents you with the unique chance to witness the history, culture, and architectural attractions built during the rule of the Malla dynasty in Nepal. Our expert local guides will give you detailed presentations on the effect of the April 2015 earthquake on these landmark buildings and monuments.


Kathmandu Day Tour Highlights

  • UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Short tour in Kathmandu
  • Explore the Newari and Nepalese cultures of Nepal

Off the bite, the famous hippie destination of the late 60s and early 70s, Freak Street, which is popular among tourists, would be a fascinating experience. You will be amazed that marijuana was legal in this part of the square. The giant idol of Kal Bhairav, the God of wrath, would keep your camera lens as busy as ever.

You will witness the city’s social, religious, and political focal point in Kathmandu Durbar Square. The capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, is derived from the temple Kasthamandap, which is supposed to have been built from the wood of a single tree that will spark your spiritual soul.

Swayambhunath

Swayambhunath temple, also known as the Monkey Temple, is another attraction on Kathmandu Day Tours. It symbolizes harmony between Hindus and Buddhists, as followers worship it equally. The majestic Stupa lies at the top of the hill, from which the picturesque Kathmandu Valley can be seen from a 360-degree angle.

There is a belief that the temple emerged automatically once Manjushree diverted the water in the valley. Moreover, After this majestic sightseeing experience, we will take you to Boudhanath Temple.

This Tibetan-origin temple is the holy destination of Buddhist followers; however, the temple’s unique design and décor make this place the site to visit for every person. We recommend you visit these two Buddhist Temples in the evening time. The incense and prayer candles lit up the temple magnificently.

Pashupatinath

Finally, we will take you to another UNESCO-designated heritage site, Pashupatinath. Without sightseeing, this place’s Kathmandu Day tour is not complete. This temple is the holy deity of the Hindus, and the cremation process of Hindus could be a new experience for you.

Along with this experience, the “Jyotirlinga” ‘s resemblance to Lord Shiva ignites your spirituality and purity. The architectural design, Hindu rituals, many religions, historical monuments, and excellent descriptions in our trip guide will make your trip resourceful. After that, a car or vehicle will take you to your hotel.
