Nepal Himalayas Trekking also organizes fabulous one day tour in Kathmandu. One day cultural tour in Kathmandu provides a close glimpse of the country and also showcases the rich and ancient culture and architectural marvels of Nepal. 1-day Kathmandu Tour will take you to the various cultural sites which have been cited as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
We will take you mainly to The Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple, Bauddhanath Stupa, and rests if time allows. After having breakfast in the morning, you will begin the full-day guided sightseeing tour of cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu. Kathmandu Durbar Square is regarded as the finest example of Ancient Nepalese art and architecture. In fact, the architecture is typical of the Malla dynasty who ruled over Nepal from 12th and 18th century. Likewise, Swayambhunath Temple which is also known as The Monkey Temple has a compelling blend of both Hindu and Buddhist Shrines and stupas. Situated at the bank of Bagmati River, the temple of Pashupatinath is regarded as the holiest temple of Lord Shiva. Pashupatinath area is full of other smaller temples of numerous Hindu deities which offer the whole place an ambiance of a sacred paradise in Nepal. And, Bauddhanath Stupa is one of the oldest and largest Buddhist monasteries in Nepal. Bauddhanath is also popularly called as The Little Tibet.
Pashupatinath Temple is one of most demanding and popular Hindu's Temple of the world. If you are planning to do any kind of Trekking in Nepal and then please don’t miss to do 1/2 days Heritage tour in Nepal. One of the most sacred Hindu temples in the world, Pashupatinath is a millennia old temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple complex consists of the main temple and compound, surrounded by a variety of smaller temples, ashrams and sculptures and is bordered by the holy Bagmati River to the east.
Entry to the main temple is allowed only for Hindus but everyone is free to observe from the hills beside the Bagmati riverbanks. Observing the various rituals, ceremonies as well as funeral is a fascinating experience for tourists. A testament to the importance of this temple is the sheer amount of pilgrims it attracts, particularly during the holy occasions like Teej and Shivaratri where visitors number to hundreds of thousands in a single day. The Pashupatinath Temple was one of the first sites in Nepal to be designated as a UNSECO World Heritage Site (1979).
If Pashupatinath is the holiest Hindu temple in Kathmandu, then its Buddhist counterpart has to be the Boudhanath Stupa. There are a number of Newar as well as Tibetan Buddhist myths and legends surrounding this amazing stupa’s origin while some records state that it was built by a Licchavi King Sivadeva as far back as the 5th Century CE.
In present day, it is one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and the whole surrounding area is a Buddhist-populated settlement with over 40 monasteries nearby. A large number of tourists, pilgrims as well as locals visit the Stupa every day, each for their own reasons. Chanting monks, spinning prayer wheels, flocks of pigeons, and the smell of incense are just a few factors that make up the unique atmosphere of this location.
Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the oldest monuments in Nepal, with its origins being tied to the origin of Kathmandu valley itself. Historical records and inscriptions have traced the origins of this stupa complex as far back 1500 years ago while religious myths and stories go even further. It is said that Swayambhunath, literally meaning self-sprung, was formed after the lake dried out gave rise to the current valley.
This hilltop stupa is an amazing mixture of Hindu shrines and Buddhist stupas; two different forms of architecture co-existing in harmony. It is said there are 365 steps on the stairs that lead up to Swayambhunath. Aside from being a holy location for Hindus as well as Buddhists, the ideal location also means the view overlooking most of the Kathmandu valley is superb from here.
Also known as the Hanuman Dhoka Palace, the Kathmandu Durbar Square is one of the three durbar squares in the Kathmandu Valley. This was the old royal palace and courtyard of the Mallas and Shahs of Kathmandu with a plethora of temples and shrines. The main palace complex was constructed as early as the 15th century while additional buildings and monuments were added as time went on. The notable things to explore here include the namesake monument Hanuman Dhoka, Taleju Mandir, Nine storey Basantapur Tower, Sundari Chowk, Tribhuvan Museum, King Mahendra Memorial Museum and Kal Bhairab temple in its vicinity.
Is the old palace of the kingdom of Patan/Lalitpur. People believe that the town was named after King Yalamber, as Patan also translates to Yala. It is located around 8 km south-east of central Kathmandu. This palace complex is an excellent showcase of Newari architecture and craftsmanship. The courtyard is dotted with a number of Hindu as well as Buddhist monuments. Historical records have shown that Emperor Ashoka built parts of this Square way back in the 3rd century BCE. The notable places to visit in Patan Durbar Square include the Mahaboudha Temple, Kumbeshwor temple, Krishna Temple, Golden Temple, Jagat Narayan Temple, Hari Shanker temple, Vishwanath temple, Bhimsen temple and Rato Machhendra Temple among others.
Apart from these World Heritage Cultural sites, we also visit other parts of the valley if the time is allowing. Every day Nepal Himalayas Trekking operates Kathmandu Tour . Join our trip and acquire an unforgettable experience for lifetime.
After breakfast In the morning, get ready to explore the city of Kathmandu. We visit the "Monkey Temple", famous for the large number of monkeys that inhabit it. Also, this serene Buddhist monastery is situated on a hill overlooking the entire valley. And will explore at Kathmandu Durbar square.
