It’s like stepping back in time with its unique pagoda-roofed temples and royal quarters. Here, you’ll even find the Living God, Kumari, which dess adds a touch of mystique to the atmosphere.

This place is important to both Hindus and Buddhists, and the breathtaking views from the hilltop are truly remarkable.

Your journey in Kathmandu wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the revered Pashupatinath Temple. This ancient Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, stands as a significant sanctuary. The name “Pashupatinath” translates to “protector of all living beings.” Nearby is the Arya Ghat, a Hindu cremation site by the sacred Bagmati River, believed to offer a direct passage to paradise for those cremated here, according to Hindu beliefs. As part of the comprehensive Kathmandu Valley Tour, you’ll have the unique chance to do a kora (circumambulation) around the Boudhanath Stupa. This magnificent Buddhist stupa is a testament to Nepal’s spiritual heritage and holds a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors.
