Kathmandu City: Kathmandu Durbar Square is one of the popular places liked by many visitors due to its exquisite architecture and artistic embellishment. The complex of palaces, courtyards and temples, built in 1200 to 1768 A.D. with hundreds of erotic carvings used to be the seat of the ancient Malla kings of Kathmandu which epitomizes the religions and cultural life of the people.

The major attractions being visited are: The 18th century KumariBahal (House of the Living Goddess) courtyard; 12th century Kasthamandap – the Legendary House of Wood built from the wood of a single tree; Shiva Parvati Temple; KalBhairab – this terrifying master piece is highly admired and revered as a form of Shiva; Seto (White) Machhendranath – this god is pulled in a huge chariot through the streets of Kathmandu during the lively SetoMachhendranath festival held annually in March – April.

Swayambhunath: Atop a green hillock west of Kathmandu, stands the great stupa of Swayambhunath. This is a site that is over 2500 years old marking the point where the legendary patriarch Manjushri discovered the lotus of the ancient valley lake. For centuries an important centre of Buddhist leaving, the painted eyes of the Buddhist gaze out from all four sides of this monument. Constructed to specific rules each with a symbolic meaning, the stupa of Swayambhunath is a model of its kind.

It was built by the Lichchhavi King ManaDev in the 5th century A.D. The Rinpoches who reside here have established Boudhnath as one of the most flourishing centres of Tibetan Buddhism in the world. The colossal ancient stupa is 36 metres high

Pashupatinath Temple: Dedicated to Lord Shiva it is one of the most sacred Hindu shrines in the world. It lies 5 km. east of the city on the bank of the sacred Bagmati River. Thousands of pilgrims visit this temple every year during Shivaratri, the birthday of Lord Shiva. Entrance to the temple precinct is forbidden to non-Hindus. The Large, gilded triple-roofed temple was built in 1696 A.D. though 300 years earlier these was a structure on this site.

In Pokhara

Breakfast at hotel
Morning half-day sightseeing tour of Pokhara city and one hour’s boat ride on lake Phewa
Pokhara is a place of remarkable natural beauty. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the fishtailed summit of Machhapuchhre (6,977m) rising behind it create an ambience of peace and magic. At an elevation lower than Kathmandu and generally a few degrees warmer, it has a tropical feel to it as can be seen by the diversity of beautiful subtropical flora which are found here.
Clearly however, the most stunning of Pokhara’s sights is the world famous views of the Himalayas, especially with the spectacular panorama of the Annapurna range which forms its backdrop. Stretching from east to west, the Annapurna massif includes Annapurna I to IV and Annapurna South. Although the highest among them is Annapurna I (8,091m), it is Machhapuchhre which dominates all others in this neighbourhood.
The major attractions are: Phewa Lake where one can sail or row boats, visit to the Barahi temple built almost in the middle of this lake, Bindhyavasini Temple dedicated to the Goddess Bhagwati (at both these temples, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, devotees can be seen offering male animals as sacrifices to the deities), the Natural History Museum which features displays on the peoples and wildlife of the Annapurna Conservation Area, the Tibetan Refugee Camp and excursion to Sarankot (to view the Himalayas closeup).
