Nepal Cultural Tour

Durbar Square is an ancient palace surrounded by temples built in the pagoda style, adorned with intricate ancient architecture. Swayambhunath Temple, dating back to the 13th century AD, holds significant pilgrimage status for Buddhists. Also known as the Monkey Temple, it features numerous small stupas similar to those at Boudhanath Stupa.

Visitors can explore monasteries and temples within the complex. The palace itself showcases unique Nepalese architecture, marking the excellence of local craftsmanship.

Patan Museum, Royal Palace, Bhimsen Temple, Vishwanath Temple, Taleju Bhawani Temple, Complex Durbar Marg, and Krishna Mandir are key attractions within the square.

The temple's stone carvings depict scenes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana, offering a glimpse into ancient Nepalese history and culture. Patan, also renowned for its Newari cuisine, tantalizes visitors with its spicy and flavorful dishes.

Patan Durbar Square is alternatively known as Lalitpur Durbar Square in Kathmandu.

This morning, your journey through Nepal's cultural treasures begins with a visit to Pashupatinath, a sacred Hindu site where holy sadhus meditate and where cremations are conducted on the banks of the Bagmati River. Continuing to Bouddhanath, the holiest Buddhist shrine in Nepal, you'll encounter its vast stupa—a place revered by devout Buddhists from around the world.

After exploring these spiritual landmarks, your next stop is Bhaktapur Durbar Square, one of Kathmandu's most visited sites. Here, you'll marvel at the 55-Window Palace, the intricately carved Golden Gate, Nyatapole Temple, Vatsala Temple, the Statue of Bhupatindra Malla, Siddhi Lakshmi Temple, Bhairava Nath Temple, and the iconic Lion's Gate. The architecture of the 55-Window Palace and Golden Gate is particularly stunning, showcasing the artistic prowess of Nepalese craftsmen.

Bhaktapur is renowned for its yogurt, known as Ju-ju in the Newari language, which is beloved throughout Nepal for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Afterward, you'll drive to Nagarkot for an overnight stay, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayas and soak in the serene ambiance of this hilltop retreat.
