Rute

1. Prepare to be awestruck by one of the most impressive and largest stone carvings in all of Nepal. This guided visit takes you to the Budhanilkantha Temple, a major Hindu pilgrimage site located at the foothills of the Shivapuri hills in Kathmandu. The temple's "must-see" centerpiece is the colossal 5-meter (16.4 ft) statue of Lord Vishnu (Narayanan), reclining on the twisting coils of the cosmic serpent, Shesha. This magnificent statue, carved from a single block of black basalt stone, appears to float in a sacred pond symbolizing the cosmic ocean. It is a place of deep devotion and powerful, tranquil energy. After paying your respects, you can explore the lively temple surroundings, which are filled with small shops offering religious items and souvenirs. This is an essential sacred site for any visitor to Kathmandu.

2. Here, you will behold the colossal 5-meter (16.4 ft) statue of Lord Vishnu, reclining in peaceful repose on the coils of the cosmic serpent, Shesha. This entire masterpiece is carved from a single block of black stone and appears to float in a sacred pool, symbolizing the primordial ocean. Its origin remains one of Nepal's greatest mysteries—how this massive stone was transported to the valley over a thousand years ago is still unknown. This is not a crowded UNESCO site; it is an authentic, living place of worship. You'll witness the deep devotion of Hindu pilgrims performing their daily pujas (rituals). Let our expert guide explain the profound symbolism and share the legends of this tranquil, powerful place.

About Katmandu

Kathmandu er Nepals eldgamle, fargerike hovedstad, en dalby av templer, stupaer og kongelige plasser og porten til Himalaya.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, det gamle kongelige torget, er fullt av pagodetempler og palasser, og i nærheten bor Kumari, byens levende barnegudinne. Thamel, de reisendes kvarter, er en floke av smug som selger trekkingutstyr, bønneflagg og kunsthåndverk, travelt med kaféer og takrestauranter.

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