Pashupatinath is the biggest temple premise of Kathmandu Valley on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Tour. It includes several temples squares and Cremation sites. Situated at the bank of the Bagmati river, it lies in minimum proximity to International Airport. One must visit Pashupatinath Area to complete sightseeing in Kathmandu Valley. This main temple of Pashupatinath is the holy deity of the Hindus. Most of the time ongoing, the funeral and cremation process of Hindu people at the western bank of the Bagmati River could be a new experience for you.

People believe that the experience of the “Jyotirlinga” resemblance to Lord Shiva ignites one’s spirituality and purity. The architecture, visitors themselves, and Hindu rituals are other attractions of the site. Your guide will narrate to you the Historical, architectural, cultural, and traditional aspects of the sites.

Bouddhanath Stupa

The Bouddhanath situates approximately 7 kilometers away from the main city of Kathmandu on the northern side of Pashupatinath temple. It is a Buddhist Shrine that is very famous in Tibet. It has had a special connection with Tibet since the beginning of religion in Tibet. As it occurred by the side of the trail connecting Kathmandu with Tibet, the stupa area has always been a rest point for the Tibetan people visiting Nepal.

It is home to one of the most important stupas in Nepal. It was built in the 5th century and is the largest of its kind. Architecturally, the stupa is very important and beautiful. Bouddhanath Stupa is the holy destination of the Buddhist followers; however, the unique design and the décor of the temple make this place a famous site to visit for each and every person. The prayer flags, incense, and prayer candles lit up the temple magnificently.

Swayambhunath Stupa

Finally, you will be visiting another most important Buddhist site on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Tour. Almost all the tourist visiting Nepal plans to roam around Swayambhunath during their stay in Nepal. Monkey Temple is another name for Swayambhunath Stupa due to the abundant number of monkeys found in its surroundings. The premises of Swayambhunath includes several monuments and temples due to which, it is the symbol of religious harmony. The Hindus and Buddhists equally visit the premises to worship temples here.

The majestic Stupa lies at the hilltop from where you can see the picturesque view of Kathmandu at a 360-degree angle. Based on the local story and Buddhist mythological literature, the existence of the temple area is older than the valley itself. According to Swayambhu Purana, the temple emerged automatically once Manjushree diverted the water from the valley. We recommend visiting Swayambhunath in the evening to experience the sunset view from there.

A private car with an English-speaking government-licensed Tour Guide will serve you for this tour.
