Private Full Day Kathmandu and Patan Tour
After breakfast, start your day sightseeing in Kathmandu City. Visit Durbar Square, Teleju Temple with its gilded roofs, and Hanuman Dhoka Durbar - the old Royal Palace - whose gate is guarded by a statue of Hanuman, the monkey-god, wrapped in a red cloak. Stop at House of the Living Goddess and the 12th century wood temple of Kasthamandap, from which Kathmandu derives its name. Continue on through the bazaar and labyrinthine of back streets in the old city. Then visit Swayambhunath Stupa, a UNESCO WORLD Heritage Site. It rests on a hillock and is one of the most important and the most sacred Buddhist shrines of Nepal. Legend has it that when Kathmandu Valley was a lake 2000 years ago, a single lotus flower grew at the center of the lake. When Saint Manjushree drained the lake with a single slash of his sword, the lotus settled on top of a hill and magically turned into a stupa. This stupa is the most ancient and perhaps the most enigmatic of all holy shrines in Kathmandu.
Continue from there to Patan, also known as Lalitpur. The city of artisans is a paradise of fine arts and one of the three cities in the Kathmandu Valley. Located 5 miles southeast from the Kathmandu City, Patan is best known for its rich cultural heritage. It is home to the valley’s finest craftsmen who have preserved such ancient techniques as the repousse and lost wax process used to produce exquisite sculptures. The city retains much of its old charm with its narrow streets, brick houses and multitude of well-preserved Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries (vihars) and monuments. In the heart of Patan, amidst the marketplace, lays the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Patan Durbar Square, an area filled with ancient palaces, pagoda temples, stone baths, Hindu and Buddhist statues, engravings and bronze cravings. Also located in the square is the Patan Museum, formerly a Malla palace, which houses bronze statues and religious objects, some dating back to the 11th century. The stay will be overnight at your hotel in Kathmandu.

Private Half Day Pashupatinath and Bodhnath Tour
Begin your day 5km east of Kathmandu city at Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located amidst lush green natural area on the bank of holy river Bagmati, the temple built in pagoda style has a gilded roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors can see the temple from the bank of Bagmati River, as entering is strictly forbidden to non-Hindus. Pashupatinath is the center of annual pilgrimage on the day of Shivaratri which falls in February / March. Behind the temple are the cremation grounds. Continue from there to Bouddhanath, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bouddhanath Stupa is one of the most imposing landmarks of Kathmandu. This ancient stupa is built on a massive three-level mandala style platform and is the largest in the world. The base is adorned with 108 small images of the Dhyani Amitabha Buddha and inset with prayer wheels. Thousands of pilgrims circle the stupa each day spinning the prayer wheels.
The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet that enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu. Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Boudhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of a Buddhist sage, perhaps parts of the Buddha’s body (bones, teeth), or sacred texts and other ceremonial objects. Next, visit the extraordinary Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose monuments reflect the glory days of the Malla Dynasty when art and architecture thrived in the three cities of the valley. In Bhaktapur Durbar Square, visit the unique Nyatapola Temple that rises above the city’s landscape as a remarkable landmark. Bhairavnath Temple, dedicated to Bhairav, the God of Terror, is a three-storied temple noted for its artistic grandeur and stands adjacent to the famous five-storied Nyatapola Temple. The Golden Gate is the entrance to the 15th century Palace of 55 Carved Windows. The golden gate is a masterpiece in repousse art, which has added splendor to this palace square that consists of buildings dating from the 13th century to the 18th century. Before returning to your hotel, stroll around Taumadhi Tole, a short street lined with shops. The stay will be overnight at your hotel in Kathmandu.

Private Half Day Phewa Taal Boat Ride
