Itinerary
Head to Kathmandu Durbar Square, which is home to a house full of woodcarvings of different gods and goddesses. In this 3-story palace, you will also find the living goddess, Kumari. Both Hindus and Buddhists venerate her. You will also visit Old Freak Street, named due to its unique history of the 1960s and 1970s. Explore the intriguing little boutique shops and restaurants.
Next visit Swayambhunath, also called the Monkey Temple due to the number of rhesus monkeys that call this place home. The sanctuary is up a long set of stairs, where at the top you will find amazing views of the Kathmandu Valley. At the top there is a vast stupa and other various Hindu sanctuaries.
Your tour continues to Boudhanath to see the biggest Buddhist stupa in Nepal. Then enjoy lunch at a local eatery for a phenomenal perspective of the stupa.
Your day finishes with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pashupati. Your guide will teach you about the various sanctuaries that make up the site

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).
