Kathmandu is a city with a varied cultural and religious heritage. The majority of religious sites have been designated as global historic sites.

Prepare for a brief excursion through the city after breakfast.

The Pashupatinath shrine will be the first stop. It is centrally placed in Kathmandu. It is a sacred site for Hindu believers, featuring ancient temples, statues, and historical inscriptions. It is very forbidden to take photographs of the main temple. The next stop is Bouddhanath Stupa, which is about a 10-minute ride away.

Buddhist followers revere Boudhanath Stupa as a sacred site. It is the world’s largest stupa. It is beautiful in its own right. The atmosphere around the stupa is so pleasant that it fills you with peace and contentment.

You will be taken to the hotel after a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu. You’ll have plenty of time to prepare and purchase or rent equipment for the trip ahead.
