On landing at Tribhuvan International Airport, meet our representative and drive to the hotel. Kathmandu – the capital city of Nepal – is a treasure chest of architectural marvels, informative museums and revered religious sites. Its location between the Shivalik and the Great Himalayan Ranges, and its moderate altitude bestows it with a pleasant weather pattern for most of the year. After check-in at the hotel, enjoy the rest of the day at leisure and then stay overnight.
Post a scrumptious breakfast, embark on an extensive sightseeing tour of this culturally rich city. Begin by travelling through Kathmandu, admiring its architecture and if possible, interacting with the locals. Thereafter, explore Swayambhunath, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath – three highly sacred shrines here.Swayambhunath – translating into one which is self-created – is a Buddhist temple, associated with the deity, Manjusri. The stupa-style shrine is located amidst lush vegetation and houses statues of religious figures like Vairochana, Akshobhya, Lord Buddha, Amitabha and Amoghsiddhi. Boudhanath is a giant, almost-spherical stupa, located in the north-western part of the city. There are various myths about its origin, and it is widely believed that it was constructed sometime after the death of Lord Buddha. The whole structure consists of a three-stepped 16-sided platform and a white dome atop it, crowned by a small golden pyramid. Pashupatinath, one of the most visited temples of Lord Shiva in Nepal, is situated on the banks of the river Bagmati. It is said that Lord Shiva came here in the guise of a deer and lost an antler during a fight with the demigods. With time, this antler came to be worshiped as a Shiva Linga – the most prominent representation of the deity. Following this incredible spiritual excursion, return to the hotel and take rest.
Post a delicious breakfast at the hotel, check-out and travel to Pokhara. The second largest city in Nepal, Pokhara is located in a valley in the foothills of the mighty Annapurna Range of the Great Himalayas. Pokhara is a popular travel destination and the base of numerous trekking expeditions. Snow-covered mountain peaks can be seen from here, and the city is close to three mesmerising natural lakes.
