Itinerário

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.
