Itinerary
We're off on an adventure to Patan Durbar Square! It's like a giant museum filled with cool old palaces and temples with awesome carvings. Imagine kings and queens walking around here long ago! First, we'll see the Royal Palace, where the rulers used to live. Look for the fancy courtyard with golden doors and a big well – maybe a king took a swim there! Next, we'll visit the Krishna Temple, dedicated to a super cool Hindu god. It's decorated with amazing pictures and has golden towers at the top. You can even feel the peacefulness inside! After that, it's market time! We'll explore stalls filled with colorful spices, pretty fabrics, and yummy snacks. Maybe you'll find a souvenir to remember your trip! Get ready to be amazed, Patan Durbar Square is waiting for you!
Our next adventure takes us to Pashupatinath Temple, a super important place for Hindus in Nepal. It's like a big, beautiful temple right next to a river. Here, you'll see people praying and making offerings to Hindu gods. You might even see a special ceremony called a cremation, where families say goodbye to loved ones who passed away. It's a way for them to reach peace and start a new journey. Remember, cremation is a very important part of their beliefs, so please be respectful and quiet if you see one happening. After learning about this special place, we can explore nearby markets or even grab some delicious Nepali food! Get ready for a unique and interesting experience!
Next up, we're heading to Boudhanath, a giant dome that looks like a fluffy white birthday cake! Walk around it with other visitors, whispering prayers and spinning colorful prayer wheels. Climb up the stairs to see amazing views of the city below. Inside nearby temples, discover cool Tibetan statues and hear monks chant in a special language. By the end, you'll feel calm and happy.
Following our exploration of Kathmandu, we'll continue our journey towards the magnificent Swayambhunath Temple. This ancient stupa, perched atop a hill, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. Known as the "Monkey Temple," Swayambhunath is not only a religious site but also a symbol of harmony between various faiths. As we observe the temple, you'll have the chance to soak in its spiritual ambiance and witness devotees engaged in their rituals. The intricate architecture and the tranquil atmosphere make this sacred place a true gem of Nepali heritage.

5Nice paced tour of 4 sights.
Our guide Jaya was had a nice pace and was nice to accommodate our request to start slightly later in the day. Visiting 4 sites is enough for one day if you a looking for a easy paced tour of the city sights. We were there o. The first day of the month long Siva Festival so it was an interesting experience with the crowd

About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
