Our itinerary package includes a short tour of the Kathmandu valley before darting towards Bhadrapur. After breakfast, we will take you to UNESCO World Heritage sites inside the Kathmandu Valley. 

Since half a day is not enough to visit all the heritage sites, we can take you to visit very popular sites where local people would want to visit every day, i.e., Pashupatinath temple and Bouddhanath Stupa. 

Our representative will be at your hotel to pick you up. He will then drive you to Pashupatinath temple first. Pashupatinath temple is a sacred and religious place for Hindu pilgrims as well as devotees. 

After that, you will be visiting Boudhanath Stupa, which takes about 20-25 minutes by four-wheelers from Pashupatinath temple. Boudhanath stupa is again one of the religious places for Buddhists, yet people of all religions can visit. You can also do personal shopping on the way or during the visit.
