Itinerary and highlights

In the morning we will proceed on a half-day tour. 
Pashupati Temple: Dedicated to one of the manifestations of Lord Shiva, the Pashupati Temple is one of the holiest places for Hindus. The temple complex comprises a golden-roofed, Agoda-shaped main temple with silver doors that are surrounded by smaller shrines, ashrams, and inscriptions added over several centuries. The temple is restricted to non-Hindus who can view it from across the river.

Boudhanath Stupa: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. Different buildings and monasteries surround the stupa which has the wise eyes of the
Buddha painted on it. People from all faiths visit this place every day to pray or simply soak in the all-pervasive serenity.
