We start our Buddhist Monastery tour from Swoyambhunath Stupa in the morning. We will observe the entire Kathmandu City from a hilltop of Swambhunath premises. Swoyambhunath Stupa is one of the  UNESCO World Heritage Sites among seven sites in the Kathmandu Valley. The Stupa offers us spiritual and calm surroundings as we observe the premises. We can capture the stupa’s golden spire, prayer flags, and the entire valley. Back to the hotel and have breakfast then, we start our day tour of Bouddhanath Stupa, Kapan Gumba, and Jamchen Bijaya Stupa Budhanilkantha.
Bouddhanath Stupa is the largest Stupa in the World, where Buddhists come to pray and circumambulate the Stupa and the surrounding monasteries. The spiritual and calm moment can be captured with your camera lens as it offers a great opportunity for photography. We will have lunch around Bouddhanath and drive to Kapan Monastery.
