Beschrijving
Discover Kathmandu’s sacred and royal landmarks on a full-day guided tour. Visit Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Patan Durbar Square, and Hanuman Dhoka.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu and head to Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and an important center of Tibetan Buddhism. Walk the kora path with local devotees as prayer flags ripple overhead and prayer wheels turn beside the white dome and painted eyes of the stupa.
From there, continue to Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal’s most revered temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Set along the Bagmati River, this sacred complex offers a close look at living religious practice, including rituals and cremation ceremonies seen from designated viewing areas.
Continue into the historic core of the city for a visit to Hanuman Dhoka Palace in Kathmandu Durbar Square. Once the royal seat of the Malla and Shah dynasties, this palace complex reveals carved wooden windows, historic courtyards, shrines, and layers of Nepal’s political and cultural history. As you explore, your guide shares how royal life, religion, and urban life developed around this important ceremonial center.
The journey then continues to Swayambhunath, one of the oldest sacred sites in the Kathmandu Valley, where a hilltop stupa, resident monkeys, and sweeping valley views create one of the city’s most memorable settings.
You will also visit Patan Durbar Square, known for its richly detailed temples, red-brick courtyards, and exceptional Newari craftsmanship. Together, these stops offer a fuller picture of the Kathmandu Valley’s artistic and spiritual heritage. At the end of the day, return to your hotel after exploring the city’s most meaningful landmarks.
