Additional Information

Explore the mystic temples and historic myths in the divine valley where Hinduism and Buddhism coalesce. Enjoy a leisurely walk around the narrow lanes encompassing the ‘durbar squares’ in any of the vintage royal cities of the Kathmandu Valley. Observe the locals as they continue to adhere to age-old rituals that have been handed down from older generations, using their temples as places of worship. Uncover more about the Nepalese people’s customs as well as the valley’s temples, Stupas, Vihars, Courtyards, Maths, resting houses, and Hiti (stone tap).

Travel to the Newari villages of Bungamati and Khokana, get a glimpse of traditional residential structures, and immerse yourself in a culture that harks back to the Middle Ages. Appreciate the vernacular architecture and the time-honored traditions of Bungamati and Khokana. Witness the imposing three-tier temple dedicated to the deity Shikali Mai at the heart of Khokana.

Reputed as Lalitpur or the ‘City of Beauty’, Patan defies time with its distinctive Durbar Squares, multiple temples, labyrinth-like streets, diverse food culture, warm hospitality, and tolerance towards different religions, thereby solidifying the city’s historic prestige.
