Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu
- On arrival at Kathmandu, after clearing immigration and customs, step into the receiving area where your local tour guide will greet you and transfer you to your hotel for check-in.
Day 02: Sightseeing in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur Durbar Square
- After breakfast there will be a shorter drive to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Bhaktapur, once the capital city of the Malla reign has remained one of the major attractions for tourists from the beginning of tourism activities in Nepal.
- Enjoy the rustic shops, local Nepalese people and the magnificent temples surrounding you.
- Patan Durbar Square is the ancient Royal Palace of Patan and faces on to a magnificent Durbar Square.
- This concentrated mass of temples is perhaps the most visually stunning display of Newari architecture to be seen in Nepal.
Day 03: Today we will visit Baudhanatha Stupa and Pashupait Temple
- Baudhanath Stupa: There is nowhere quite like Bodhnath. Asia's largest stupa (temple) pulses with life as thousands of pilgrims gather daily to make a kora (ritual circumnavigation) of the dome, to spin the many prayer wheels, beneath the watchful eyes of the Buddha, which gazes out from the gilded central tower.
- You will see Tibetan monks in maroon robes and with shaved heads wander around the prayer flag–decked streets.
- Pashupati Temple: One of the most mesmerizing rituals at Pashupatinath Temple is the Pashupati Bagmati Aarati (a religious ritual which involves cleansing in the river, or in oil).
- Bagmati is the holy river which flows through the temple. It is believed that taking a holy bath on this river washes away sins.
- You will also have time to visit other locations and view the sights in the bustling Kathmandu Valley.
Day 04: Final departure to sweet home
- We will drive you to the airport as per your flight schedule.
- So today will be a rest day; this is so that you can spend some time trying to figure out how to repack your bag with the multiple gifts and presents you've bought for your family (and yourself) back into your suitcase!
