Kathmandu Sight Seeing
The giant Boudnath Stupa-Asia’s one of the largest Buddhist shrine. The stupa with 100m (328 ft) diameter and 40 m (130 ft) height can be spotted from many views points in Kathmandu. There are a number of Buddhist monasteries around and the area is dominantly Tibetan in character and reminds very much of Barkhor area of Lhasa.
After that you can visit the orphanage and you can donate the goods you have brought with. School supplies, books, medicines, vitamin supplements etc. are recommended.
In the afternoon, we visit 2000 year old Buddhist shrine of Swayambhunath Stupa situated on a hillock about 260 ft above the valley floor. Revered by both Hindus and Buddhist, the monument is a glittering golden spire on a large white lofty dome. There are numerous shrines and monasteries around. We can also enjoy panoramic views of the valley and the mountains from here.
We descend and drive in to the heart of the city to visit the Durbar Square with former Royal Palace and an array of temples rich in wood carving, metal works and stone sculptures. While the interior of the palace that houses some museums is not so appealing, but the exterior and the environs are amazingly beautiful.
We visit Kumari House, the residence of Kumari-the Living Goddess of Nepal who is the manifestation of Goddess Taleju-the patron of the rulers of Nepal! On request, the goddess gives a quick audience from her window. Kumari is replaced once she reaches puberty.
We take tricycle rickshaw ride through the traditional bazaars of Indrachowk and Assan and end up in touristy Thamel where most budget lodging, restaurants, handicraft stores and bargain places are located.
This night, you are joined by our local staff for a Nepali welcome dinner in a typical Nepali restaurant where you can also enjoy Nepali folklore dancing shows.
We drop to your room, after the evening meal.
There are tours in many areas like: tribal tours, cultural tours, pilgrimage tours, research tours, volunteering tours. You need to contact us for more information about travels, visa, permits, hotels, food, equipments, and necessary procedures.
