Beschrijving
Explore Kathmandu’s sacred sites on a private tour. Visit Pashupatinath Temple, meditate at Kopan Monastery, and see the Swayambhunath and Boudhanath stupas.
Pashupatinath Temple: Begin your journey at Nepal’s holiest Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Witness open-air cremation rituals along the Bagmati River, encounter saffron-clad sadhus, and learn about Hindu concepts of life, death, and rebirth. Enjoy spiritual storytelling and a guided walk through the temple grounds.
Kapan Monastery: Next, drive to the peaceful hilltop Kopan Monastery, a Tibetan Buddhist learning center surrounded by lush gardens. Enjoy the tranquil setting, visit the main prayer hall, and optionally join a short guided meditation session or meet with a resident monk (subject to availability). Reflect and take in the view over Kathmandu Valley.
Swayambhunath Temple: Then, climb the stone steps to the ancient 5th-century Swayambhunath Stupa, one of Nepal’s oldest and most iconic Buddhist sites. Walk clockwise around the stupa, spinning prayer wheels, hear the chants of monks, and enjoy panoramic views of Kathmandu. Optionally, light a butter lamp for blessings.
Boudhanath Stupa: Finally, circle the giant white dome of Boudhanath, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a hub of Tibetan spirituality. Watch monks in maroon robes chanting in nearby monasteries and explore the peaceful ambiance of this sacred space. Optionally, add on a sound healing session or butter lamp offering ceremony.
