Kathmandu Temples Tour Details

On the day of your tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel at 9 am, ready to begin exploring the temples of Kathmandu Valley with your expert English-speaking guide.

The first stop will be in the Nepalese capital's Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in front of the old royal palace of the former Newar Kingdom of Kathmandu. It remains the heart of the old town, showcasing palaces, temples, and courtyards that reflect Nepal's architectural heritage.

Next, you will travel by bus to the Pashupatinath temple, located in the east of Kathmandu Valley. After a 20-minute drive, you'll arrive at this enormous Hindu complex on the banks of the sacred River Bagmati, which dates back to the 5th century and is dedicated to the deity Shiva. The complex consists of over 500 temples built in pagoda style.

Your tour will continue to the Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath, one of the largest in the world and a spiritually significant site in Kathmandu.

The final stop will be at Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple. The site features vibrant prayer flags and iconic paintings of the Buddha's eyes and eyebrows, making it a landmark of Kathmandu.

At the end of your tour, you'll be dropped back off at your hotel at 5 pm.
