Description

Embark on a private guided tour of the Buddhist and Hindu monuments with a national tour guide. Explore the ancient religion and culture and visit local markets and temples.
We start our journey at Boudha Stupa, one of the world's largest stupas and a major Buddhist pilgrimage site. As you approach, you'll notice the grand white dome, topped with Buddha's all-seeing eyes, representing wisdom and compassion. Walking around the stupa with monks and devotees, you'll feel the calming presence of chants, spinning prayer wheels, and the scent of incense. Around the stupa, vendors sell colorful prayer flags, Tibetan crafts, and traditional items, adding to the lively atmosphere.

Next, we head to Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu’s oldest Hindu temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, you'll see the beautiful temple complex by the Bagmati River, surrounded by sadhus (holy men) and worshippers. By the riverfront ghats, you might witness traditional cremation ceremonies, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. Exploring further, you’ll see finely carved wooden shrines dedicated to Shiva.
