Itinerary
Today will be a day dedicated to exploring the Kathmandu city.

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.
