1. Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple):
Start your journey at this ancient hilltop stupa overlooking Kathmandu Valley. Known as the Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath is one of Nepal’s oldest religious sites. Climb the stone steps, admire the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, and enjoy panoramic city views. Your guide will explain the legends behind the stupa and its importance to both Buddhists and Hindus.

2. Patan Durbar Square:
Continue to Patan, the city of fine arts. Explore the royal palace complex, intricately carved temples, and traditional courtyards built during the Malla period. Learn about Newari architecture, ancient craftsmanship, and the fascinating history of the Malla kings who once ruled from here.

3. Pashupatinath Temple:
Visit Nepal’s most sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located along the Bagmati River, Pashupatinath is a powerful spiritual site where you can observe traditional rituals and cremation ceremonies (from a respectful distance). Your guide will provide cultural and religious context to help you understand Hindu beliefs and practices.

4. Boudhanath Stupa:
End your tour at one of the largest stupas in the world and a major center of Tibetan Buddhism. Walk alongside monks and locals performing the “kora” (circumambulation), spin prayer wheels, and experience the peaceful atmosphere surrounded by monasteries and prayer flags.
