Admission ticket not included

Swayambhunath Stupa, famously known as the Monkey Temple, is one of the oldest and most sacred sites in Nepal, perched on a hilltop west of Kathmandu. Dating back over 2,500 years, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. The iconic white dome and golden spire are topped with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, symbolizing wisdom and compassion. Visitors ascend a long staircase flanked by prayer flags, statues, and lively monkeys. At the summit, panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley await, along with a spiritual atmosphere filled with chants, incense, and spinning prayer wheels. The complex includes shrines, chaityas, and a mix of Hindu and Buddhist temples, showcasing religious harmony. Rich in symbolism and legend, Swayambhunath is not just a monument, but a vibrant, living sanctuary where devotion and heritage blend seamlessly, offering a profound experience of Nepal’s spiritual depth.

Patan Durbar Square

1h
Admission ticket not included

Patan Durbar Square, located in the heart of Lalitpur, is a spectacular display of Newar architecture and a testament to Nepal’s rich artistic heritage. Once the royal palace of the Malla kings of Patan, the square is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a cultural gem filled with exquisite temples, intricately carved windows, and historical courtyards. The centerpiece is the Krishna Mandir, a 17th-century temple made entirely of stone, showcasing detailed carvings of Hindu epics. The square also houses the Hiranya Varna Mahavihar (Golden Temple), a revered Buddhist site, and a museum inside the ancient palace complex. Patan is renowned for its harmonious blend of Hindu and Buddhist influences, reflected in its architecture and daily rituals. As artisans still work nearby creating metal crafts and statues, visitors witness a living tradition that continues to thrive. Patan Durbar Square is not just a historical site—it's a vibrant cultural and spiritual center.

Pashupatinath Temple

1h
Admission ticket not included

Pashupatinath Temple, a sacred sanctuary dedicated to Lord Shiva, is one of the holiest Hindu shrines in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated on the banks of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, the temple is a sprawling complex of pagoda-style temples, cremation ghats, and shrines. The main temple, with its gilded roof and silver doors, is accessible only to Hindus, but the surrounding grounds offer deep cultural and spiritual insight for all visitors. The site is especially moving for its open-air cremation rituals, where Hindu last rites are performed along the riverbank. Devotees, sadhus (holy men), and pilgrims from around the world gather here, especially during festivals like Maha Shivaratri. The air is filled with the scent of incense, the sounds of temple bells, and the chants of priests. Pashupatinath is not just a religious site; it is a profound reflection of life, death, devotion, and the cycle of existence in Hindu belief.

Boudhanath Stupa

40m
Admission ticket not included

Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest and most important Buddhist stupas in the world, is a beacon of peace and spirituality in Kathmandu. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the stupa's massive white dome and golden spire, topped with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, dominate the skyline. Surrounded by 108 prayer wheels, colorful prayer flags, and Tibetan monasteries, the site is the spiritual heart of Nepal’s Tibetan Buddhist community. Pilgrims and visitors alike perform kora (circumambulation) around the stupa, spinning prayer wheels and offering butter lamps. The air resonates with the sound of mantras and the flutter of prayer flags. Built in the 5th century, Boudhanath has served as a center for meditation, refuge, and cultural exchange for centuries. Whether you’re here to pray, reflect, or absorb the unique atmosphere, Boudhanath offers a deeply calming and culturally rich experience for every visitor.
