A propos de cette activités

Transportation around the frenetic, picturesque Nepali capital can be difficult to arrange, but relax in your own private vehicle as you cover all of the historical highlights in this tour.

After pickup from your hotel, travel to Kathmandu’s medieval quarter, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Durbar Square. View the city’s historical heart with an in-depth visit to the palaces and shrines making up the world-famous landmark. Also get a rare glimpse at the home of the Kumari, the sacred living goddess of Nepal.

Head next to Swayambhu, a hilltop temple famous for its panoramas of the city—and lively monkey population. See the famous mountain peaks surrounding the Kathmandu Valley from this out-of-the-way temple, which is best reached by car. Continue to tick off the city’s highlights with visits to Pashupatinath, a massive riverside temple dedicated to Shiva, Nepal’s patron deity, and Boudhanath, one of the world’s largest stupas.

After Breakfast in the morning driver with private car will pick you up from the hotel to discover the sights, sounds and aromas of the Kathmandu Valley on this full-day sightseeing tour of its major attractions. Explore unique cultures and see some of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Durbar Square, Buddhist stupas and Hindu temples.
1.Boudhanath Stupa , Lies about 6 kms to the east of downtown Kathmandu and is the largest stupa in the valley. It looms 36 meters high and presents one of the most fascinating specimens of stupa design. Buddhanath is also known as Khasti, or dew drops, after an account that builders had to use dew to mix the mortar as Kathmandu was suffering from a severe drought during the construction of Bouddhanath.
2.Pasupatinath Temple , Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Hindu shrines in the world and lies 5 kms east of the city center. The richly-ornamented pagoda houses the sacred Linga, or phallic symbol, of Lord Shiva. Chronicles indicate the temple’s existence prior to 400 AD. Devotees can be seen taking ritual dips in the holy Bagmati River flowing beside the temple
3.patan Darbar Square , Patan Durbar Square is an enchanting combination of palace buildings, artistic courtyards and graceful pagoda temples. The former royal palace complex is the center of Patan’s religious and social life, and houses a museum containing an array of bronze statues and religious objects. One remarkable monument here is a 17th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, built entirely of stone
4.Swayambhunath Stupa ,The Monkey Temple (World Heritage Site) Watches over the valley from the top of a hillock on its western side. The huge stupa is one of the holiest Buddhists sites in Nepal and its establishment is linked to the creation of the Kathmandu Valley out of a primordial lake. Swayambhu is also known as Samhengu and the Monkey temple because of the countless monkeys living in the premises
