After you arrive at the airport, our representative from Amazing Himalaya will receive you and take you to your hotel. You can unwind, rest in the hotel overnight, and prepare for the journey the next day.

The next day, we will visit Kathmandu and various UNESCO-listed world heritage sites, such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath temple, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Boudhanath Stupa.

Kathmandu Durbar Square: Located in the heart of Kathmandu, it showcases the rich architecture and cultural heritage. The main attractions are visiting temples, palaces built between the 12th and 18th centuries, Hanuman Dhoka, and the Kumari Ghar (home of the living goddess).

Swayambhunath: Known as Monkey Temple, it lies on one of the top hills of Kathmandu Valley and offers a panoramic view of Kathmandu. Both Buddhists and Hindus revere this Heritage Site. It features a stupa with Buddha’s eyes painted on it, symbolizing the Buddha’s all-seeing nature, and is surrounded by monasteries.

Boudhanath: One of the popular tourist destinations in Kathmandu, the place gives a spiritual vibe with Tibetan chanting and mantras. Spend quality time clicking pictures in the rooftop cafe and enjoy local Tibetan cuisine there. Around Stupa, there are many souvenir and handicraft items in local shops that you can take back home as a permanent memory of your trip and as a token of Nepali heritage.
