They are the most visited sites in Nepal as they are loaded with architecture, pagoda-style shrines, and spiritual surroundings. Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath stupa, and Patan Durbar Square are the sites for a culture day tour in Kathmandu. A guided tour around the cultural heritage day tour in Kathmandu begins after having breakfast at the hotel. The typical Newari communities of Kathmandu and Patan, festivals, celebrations, marching, and lifestyles are remarkable.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Swoyambhu Mahachaitya
Our first destination is Swoyambhunath, the Monkey Temple. Sat on top of a hill, Swoyambhunath is one of the must-sees and is regarded as the oldest in Nepal. From here, visitors are treated to expansive views of the valley, giving them a different perspective of Kathmandus’ clothed by lush green hills. In the name "Monkey Temple," you can probably deduce that there are about 365 steps leading to the stupa and the playful monkeys on either side. The view that awaits is a little more than a striking view of the majesty of the stupa, smaller shrines, many statues of Buddha, and the wisest and most compassionate symbol of Buddha's eyes. All this combines to make Swoyambhunath an unmissable point during your tour of Kathmandu: it blends religious significance, the beauty of nature, and historical importance all at once.
Patan Durbar Square
The second destination is the Patan Durbar Square, the newest UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu Valley, where some of the most magnificent medieval art and architecture collections are seen-culture is past time as soon as you enter the square. The intricately designed temples along courtyards to statues are beauty personified. Architectural goodies would also include the Hiranya Varna Mahavihar (Golden Temple), the Mahabouddha Temple, the Patan Museum, and many more such jewels. The Newars have carved their intricate wood and stone carvings in the compounds that narrate splendid stories of ancient Nepalese culture. Take a stroll through the narrow alleys of Patan, where you will discover artisans who make wooden carvings, pottery, and metal works-offering you a true sense of the city's artistic heritage. Another interesting spot is Patan museum which is a collection of old palaces, courtyards, temples, Sundari chowk.
Pashupatinath Temple
Pashupatinath, one of the holiest temples of Hinduism in the world, stands physically on the banks of the holy Bagmati river. Approaching the temple purports to bring it home in a way that gives you a sense of the wherewithal with which Lord Shiva would bring about the feeling of pilgrimage for devotees across the globe. Peer at the sacred perimeter along which daily rituals are performed- prayer, offerings, as well as those famous cremation ceremonies that are conducted all along the ghats on the river. Eye-popping the intricacies of pagoda construction, the brilliance of golden roofing, and very rich carvings form a visual feast that imparts to Nepal's deep spiritual roots-the reverberating energy of the temple complex accounts for just what kind of welcome into one of the chief facets of Kathmandu-an entrance into culture and religion.
