Then walk past Asan and Indrachowk markets, rubbing shoulders with locals towards Thamel, seeing so many old houses, markets and temples along the way. Explore Thamel, the center of tourists in Kathmandu, where you will find shops selling curios, handicrafts, trekking gears and number of good restaurants. Overnight at hotel.

Day 2: Kathmandu UNESCO World Heritage site Tour (B)

Breakfast at hotel. Full day guided tour of Kathmandu valley visit Pashupatinath temple, the holiest Hindu temple of Nepal, located on the banks of Bagmati river.

Then drive short distance to Patan, known as the city of Arts. You will be provided some free time here to eat lunch, browse shops and local galleries. On the way back to the hotel, stop by Bodhnath (or Boudha), Asia’s largest chorten, that pulses with life as thousands of pilgrims gather daily to make a kora (ritual circumnavigation) of the dome, beneath the watchful eyes of the Buddha, which gaze out from the gilded central tower. This is one of the few places in the world where Tibetan Buddhist culture is accessible and unfettered, and the lanes around the stupa are crammed with monasteries and workshops producing butter lamps, ceremonial horns, Tibetan drums, monks’ headgear and the other paraphernalia essential for Tibetan Buddhist life.
