Nepal, officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a breathtaking landlocked country nestled in the Himalayas of South Asia. Flanked by China to the north and India to the south, east, and west, it boasts an incredibly diverse geography. The mountainous north is home to eight of the world’s ten tallest peaks – including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,884 metres. The southern region contrasts with fertile lowlands and vibrant urban centres, creating a dynamic and culturally rich landscape.
The capital city, Kathmandu, is not only Nepal’s largest metropolis but also a hub of spiritual, historical, and cultural significance.
After check-in, the remainder of your day is at leisure to rest or explore your surroundings at your own pace.
Overnight: Hotel stay
Meals Included: None
Morning, proceed for full day sightseeing tour of Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square and Thamel.
Boudhanath (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Situated approximately 6 km from the city centre, Boudhanath is the spiritual heart of Tibetan culture in Nepal. Towering at 36 metres, the stupa is one of the largest in South Asia and holds deep significance for both Buddhists and Hindus. Renovated in the 8th century by the Licchavi rulers, its mandala design mirrors that of Gyangtse in Tibet. Said to entomb the remains of the revered Kasyap sage, it is a place of profound peace. Watch as devotees perform Kora – a circular walk around the stupa while spinning prayer wheels and chanting “Om Mani Padme Hum.” You may also light a butter lamp as part of your visit to this sacred site.
Swayambhunath (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Believed to be more than 2,500 years old, Swayambhunath is one of Nepal’s most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites. According to an inscription from 460 A.D., its construction was commissioned by King Manadeva. By the 13th century, it had evolved into a major centre for Buddhist learning. Also affectionately known as the Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath is home to many holy monkeys, particularly in the north-western section of the temple complex. It occupies a central spiritual and geographical position and is considered among the most sacred Buddhist sites in the region.
Kathmandu Durbar Square (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Located in the heart of old Kathmandu, this historical palace complex served as the royal residence until the construction of Narayanhiti Palace. Its origins trace back to the Licchavi era, with extensive renovations added by the Malla and Rana rulers over centuries. The square is home to around 50 temples, including the Taleju Bhawani Temple, dedicated to the city’s tutelary deity. It is divided into two courtyards – the outer features Kasthamandap, Kumari Ghar, and the Shiva-Parvati Temple, while the inner contains Hanuman Dhoka and the main palace complex. It also hosts two museums and continues to be a venue for royal and state ceremonies. Most of the complex is open to visitors during the week.
Rickshaw Ride to Thamel
Later, enjoy a charming rickshaw ride through the narrow streets of Kathmandu to the bustling Thamel area. Sit back and take in the vibrant atmosphere as your driver expertly navigates the lively backstreets. Thamel is a hub of activity, filled with shops offering everything from pastries to pashminas. Your rickshaw seat offers the perfect view for window-shopping and soaking up the sights, sounds, and energy of this iconic district.
