Arrival in Kathmandu

In the afternoon, enjoy a walking tour of the medieval Kathmandu Durbar Square, the cultural heart of the city. Later, visit the 2,500-year-old Swoyambhunath Stupa, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Swoyambhu Mahachaitya - Situated atop a hill west of the Kathmandu Valley, this site is a popular and instantly recognizable symbol of Nepal. Many tourists refer to it as the “Monkey Temple” due to the large tribes of monkeys that inhabit the area. According to legend, the Bodhisattva Manjushree drained the water from a lake, revealing the Kathmandu Valley. The lotus on the lake’s island transformed into the hillock, and the blazing light from the lotus became the statue.

Davi’s Falls Pokhara - Davi’s Fall is a powerful waterfall located about 2 km southwest of Pokhara Airport on the Siddhartha Highway. The waterfall originates from Phewa Lake and is named after a Swiss lady who was swept away by the fall in 1961. The fall carves through rocks, creating complex caves and tunnels along its path. The Gupteshwar Mahadev Cave on the opposite side of the fall is one such cave formed by Davi’s Fall.

Drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu

Durbar Square is the heart of Patan, densely packed with temples and boasting a higher concentration of architecture than anywhere else in the valley.

Departure from Kathmandu

Pashupatinath Temple - Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Shiva temples on the Indian subcontinent, attracting devotees from all over India, including many colorful Sadhus (wandering holy men). It is the largest temple complex in Nepal. Visiting Pashupatinath marks the beginning and end of a traditional pilgrimage circuit. Lord Pashupatinath’s supreme holiness is derived from the sacred linga enshrined in the main temple and its location on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River. The sanctity of the Bagmati makes Pashupatinath Nepal’s most revered cremation site. After cremation, the ashes are scattered into the river, where they are carried downstream to meet the Ganges.
