Itinerario

1. Pashupatinath is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal, and one of the 275 Holy Abodes of Shiva on the continent. It is believed to date back to 400 A.D. It is the preferred site of cremation for Hindus, as it is situated along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River; ashes swept into this river eventually reach the Holy Ganges.

3. The Kathmandu Valley has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its rich history has resulted in the beautiful cultural, artistic and architectural fusion that is seen today. Elaborate temples, monasteries and courtyards crafted by Newar artisans during the Malla Empire from the 12th to the 17th century, are monuments of the appreciation the Malla nobility had for art and architecture, and their gradual conversion from Buddhism to Hinduism.

4. Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple, as there are hundreds of cheeky monkeys living around the temple. Swayambhunath literally means the Self-Created. A climb up the steep stairway of 365 steps brings you to the splendid hill-top monastery from where you get a great view of the city.

About Katmandu

Kathmandu, capitale antica e colorata del Nepal, città di valle di templi, stupa e piazze reali, è la porta d'accesso all'Himalaya.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, l'antica piazza reale, è affollata di templi con tetti a pagoda e di palazzi, e nelle vicinanze vive la Kumari, la dea bambina vivente della città. Thamel, il quartiere dei viaggiatori, è un groviglio di vicoli che vendono attrezzatura da trekking, bandiere di preghiera e artigianato, animati da caffè e ristoranti sui tetti.

Top-ranked sights in Katmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
