Following breakfast, we will go on a brief sightseeing trip to Kathmandu, the historic city. This beautiful city boasts several medieval landmarks, like as temples, palaces, and bihars. Several UNESCO-listed world heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley serve as open museums of sorts. These stunning landmarks offer excellent opportunities for cultural and historical investigation.

To begin, we will journey to the Swayambhunath stupa, which is positioned on a mountaintop, to witness the stunning dawn. It is also known as a monkey temple since there are several monkeys in the stupa region. This stupa overlay provides a comprehensive perspective of the Kathmandu valley. Then we will visit additional holy landmarks in the city, such as Pashupatinath and Boudhanath.

Pashupatinath is a Hindu holy site and the home of Lord Shiva, whereas Boudhanath is a stunning monument devoted to Lord Buddha. There are several Thanka galleries, restaurants, cafés, and other establishments surrounding Boudha. If time allows, we can visit the city's durbar squares, which include Basantapur, Patan, and Bhaktapur. Various temples in this city date back to the Malla era.

Because you won't be able to see all of the city's sites, you can plan ahead of time. There are several Newar communities with distinctive architecture. You may visit charming local eateries that provide local foods. After seeing these lovely locations, you will return to your hotel for an overnight stay.
