Swoyambhunath –“the Self Existing One’. The oldest Buddhist stupa of Nepal situated in the small hill, from where you can see the nice view of Kathmandu valley. Historians believe that this area has the oldest history of Kathmandu. No sooner than you enter the periphery of Swoyambhunath, you will see the monks chanting religious words and monkeys chattering and hanging around the different temple and trees. It is also known as the monkey temple, a name given by the tourist.

Boudhanath Stupa: the ancient stupa of Boudhanath is one of the biggest Buddhist stupa of Nepal, situated in the northern part of Kathmandu valley, which is one of the trading routes of Nepal with Tibet in ancient time. Tibetan merchants used to take rest and offer prayers in this place during their trading time. Later when Tibetan refugees entered Nepal in the 1950s, most of them decided to stay. Even now most of the monks in Boudhanath are from Tibet. Around the stupa, you can see Buddhist painting schools of traditional paints “Thanka”.

Pashupatinath Temple: Pashupatinath the national deity of Nepal is one of the most significant Hindu temples of Lord Shiva in the world, located on the banks of the Bagmati River in the eastern part of Kathmandu. The word Pashupatinath is derived from three Sanskrit words: “pashu” means “organism”, “pati” means “protector,” and “Nath” means “Lord.” Hence in Hindu mythology Pashupatinath means protector and Lord of all living things. The bank of Bagmati River is the cremation center of Hindu dead. Where you can see the cremation process of the Hindu people. You can also see the colorful sadhu ‘the holy devotee of Lord Shiva’ around the periphery of the temple. After sightseeing, you will return and prepare for the trekking adventure.
