  1. Day 1: Pashupatinath Temple
    25 mins (5.5 km) from Tribhuvan International Airport

    Start the day by visiting the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the largest Hindu temples of Lord Shiva in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has an amazing history that dates back to 400 A.D. Observe the morning rituals of the temple, and get a glimpse of the Hindu culture and traditions. In the afternoon, visit the Boudhanath Stupa, the largest stupa in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple. Walk around the stupa and soak in the spiritual atmosphere. Conclude the day by visiting the Garden of Dreams, a neo classical historical garden with stunning architecture and serene surroundings.

    Begin the day by visiting Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses several ancient temples, palaces, and monuments. The square has a rich history and is an excellent example of the traditional architecture of the Kathmandu valley. After exploring the square, head to Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. This Buddhist temple has a commanding view of the Kathmandu valley and a rich history dating back over 2000 years. End the day with a visit to the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, a former royal palace that now serves as a museum showcasing the lavish lifestyle and history of the Nepalese monarchy.
