Itinerary
Today will be a day dedicated to exploring the Kathmandu city. We will spend half of this day with monkeys because we will be visiting Swayambhunath and Pashupatinath temples along with Boudhanath stupa. While Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple, and Boudhanath are thronged with Buddhist pilgrims from all over the world, the temple of Pashupatinath is jam-packed with Hindu devotees. Since non-Hindus are not allowed inside the main temple of Pashupatinath, we will take you behind the temple by the banks of the holy Bagmati River where you can witness Hindu cremation ceremony. Later, a peaceful evening at Boudhanath calls for the day’s end.
This day we will visit Patan city, where we will get to explore the ancient palace and various old temples of Patan Durbar Square whose architecture is bound to amaze you.
