Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, represents not only the administrative center but also it has the most popular UNESCO World Heritage Sites representing the religious and cultural diversity of the country. On this day, we pay a visit to four major heritage sites starting with Pashupatinath Temple in the morning. This temple complex is filled with devotees and sadhus, where you can get to know the rites and rituals of Hindus at best.

Then, you’ll check into Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in the world. Just being here, you’ll experience the peace and tranquility of this magnificent place. Around the stupa, there are shops to buy Buddhist souvenirs, Thangkas, and other essentials.

Another main attraction is Kathmandu Durbar Square. The Durbar Square complexes are filled with temples, monuments, and statues built by ancient kings that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, and some of them are even older. Though the earthquake has damaged several monuments, the construction work is still going on here.

Next, we visit Swayambhunath Stupa, one of the holiest places of both Buddhists and Hindus. Also known as Monkey temple, you’ll spot many monkeys wandering around the Stupas. You can enjoy the scenic view of Kathmandu valley from this vantage point on the hilltop.
