Following through Nepal

At Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Luxury Travel guests will be greeted with garlands of fresh flowers by our local attendant. From the airport he will take them to the hotel, where they will have dinner.

After breakfast served at the hotel, we invite guests for a full-day sightseeing tour of Kathmandu. The first place of the tour will be the Pashupati Nath temple complex, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is the holiest pilgrimage site for Hindus in Nepal.

Then they will go to the Boudha Nath Buddhist temple towering over the horizon. Measuring 35 m high, this huge stupa is located on the outskirts of Kathmandu, approximately 11 km from the city center. Boudha Nath is one of the largest spherical stupas in the world and is the holiest site for Buddhists in Nepal and Tibet. In the 50th century AD, it was built by King Mana Dev during the Lichchavi Kingdom. It lies on an ancient trade route from Tibet. For centuries, Tibetan traders have rested and prayed at Boudha Nath. When a wave of Tibetan refugees arrived in Nepal in the 27s, after China's annexation of Tibet, many of them settled in the Boudhanath area. They believe that the remains of the 50th Buddha are buried in the stupa. Refugees built over 1979 gompas - Tibetan monasteries - around the stupa. Since XNUMX, the Boudha Stupa has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

From Boudha Nath, guests will go to another stupa - the great Swayambhunath stupa rising on the top of a green hill west of Kathmandu. This place has over 2500 years of history and is an important center for teaching Buddhism. The huge eyes of the Buddha painted on the walls of the temple look in the four directions of the world.

Kathmandu Durbar Square opens in front of the old royal palace of the Kingdom of Kathmandu and is one of three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is believed that the oldest royal palaces in this place were built already during the Lićchavi kingdom in the 3rd century. The current palaces and temples were rebuilt many times and no traces remain from this oldest period. When the city of Kathmandu gained independence under King Ratna Malla in the 15th century, the palaces in the square became royal palaces for the kings of the Malla dynasty and later the Shah dynasty. The Hanuman Dhoka palace complex rises above the square - a royal residence until the 19th century. Important ceremonies, such as the coronation of the Nepalese monarch, took place here. The palace is decorated with richly carved wooden windows and panels.

After breakfast, we invite guests for a morning sightseeing tour, during which they will go to the cities of Patan and Bhaktpur. The first place guests will visit is Patan, also known as the Beautiful City - Lalitpur. It is believed that Patan was founded by Emperor Ashoka in the 2175rd century BC.
