We will visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bouddhanath and Swoyambhunath and in the evening we will have free time to relax and go shopping. Kathmandu Durbar Square: Kathmandu Durbar square is one of the three Durbar squares in the valley. The Hanuman Dhoka complex, which was the royal Nepalese residence, marked several ceremonies such as coronation of Nepalese Monarch. The same palace holds King Tribhuwan Memorial and Mahendra Museum. Kumari chowk is the curious attraction in the southern end of Durbar Square. There is also an open space in this end named Basantapur area to the west of which runs a freak street. There is the entrance to Hanuman Dhoka and many other temples running northeast from where a famous Makhan tole can be reached which is considered to be the main road in Kathmandu. Swoyambhunath: Swoyambhunath, the monkey temple which is located in the hillock 3km west of Kathmandu is 2000 years old and is believed to have emerged out from a lotus flower. Swoyambhunath is perhaps the best place to observe religious harmony in Nepal. It is the major landmark in the valley that gives a magnificent view of valley from the top. There are many chaityas around the temple and two main white chaityas beside the temple. There are other monuments to see in this area such as huge gold-plated vajra thunderbolt, sleeping Buddha, Buddha statue on the west side of Swoyambhunath, Dewa Dharma Monastery, and finally temple of Harati Mata. The Buddhist stupa sits at the top of the hill and steep stones leading up to the shrine is quite a challenge. However, there is a way behind from where one can drive up. Bouddhanath: Bouddhanath is the largest Buddhist Stupa in Nepal that reflects Tibetan culture and Buddhist symbolism. Temple has become one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism and pilgrimage for meditation. The Tibetan believes that Stupa contain bone relics of the past Buddha Kashyap. At the ground level, there is a brick wall with 147 inches and 108 images of meditational Buddha Behind the copper prayer wheel. The best time to visit this place is the early morning and evening.
Our Pashupatinath Darsan Yatra comes to an end today! We will transfer you to the airport approximately three hours before the scheduled flight.
