Capital of the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, Kathmandu is a potpourri of culture and heritage at its vibrant best. In time immemorial, the region has been a meeting point for spirituality and culture with its extraordinary monuments, temples, chapels and stupas that manifest Hinduism along with Buddhism of centuries. Overland Trek Nepal arranges sightseeing tour in Kathmandu valley that includes 4 world Heritage Sites; Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) and Kathmandu Durbar Square. All of these three sacred locations can provide you with a rich, historical and spiritual experience of the land of Nepal.

Soon after your tour, you will be busy with preparations for trekking to the Manaslu Base Camp Trek that lures adventurers into managing through remote and tough areas while underneath Manlsu Region.

1. Pashupatinath Temple — The Landmark of Hindu Devotion

Pashupatinath Temple — Situated along the holy Bagmati River, Pashupatinath is Nepal's most important Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva (the god of destruction and rebirth). It is among the ancient temples of Kathmandu that belongs to 400 AD. Best known for its extravagant pagoda-style architecture, resplendent in gold-leafed roofs and intricately carved silver doors.

Pashupatinath or “Lord of the Animals” is one of 275 ancient temples in Nepal encompassing master Shiva who saves both individuals and animals Constructed a few hundreds years ago, the temple's precise origins are as mysterious as too many legends which surround its beginnings. One of the legends has it that in these forests lay hidden Shiva as a form of a deer whom Gods sought to be brought back from this disguise, In doing so some fragments of his horn were reputed to have fallen here, which then grew into the site where Pashupatinath is located.

The temple is well known for its location near the Bagmati River, bank lies the Pashupatinath Temple where the dead bodies are burnt and it is a common cistrum of Hindus cremates every deceased body at Pashupati temple. Despite only Hindus being able to enter the temple's inner sanctum, the surrounding complex provides for a deep experience for everyone coming here. The witness of the religious ceremonies, sadhu (holy men) in meditation at the temple complex and everyday offerings provide a rurge insight onto Nepali spiritual life.

2. Boudhanath Stupa : The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism

The large Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest spherical stupas in the world and an important centre of Tibetan Buddhism, has stood here for centuries. Constructed in the 5th century by the Licchavi dynasty, it is a popular pilgrimage site for Buddhist pilgrims from not only Nepal but also Tibetan Buddhists. The stupa stands at 36 meters and includes a substantial white dome capped by a golden spire with the watchful eyes of the Buddha which symbolize wisdom and compassion.

There are numerous prayer wheels and smaller shrines around the stupa, guests are also allowed to walk all over round the stupa (known as circumambulating) while spinning the prayer wheels which is a common practice in Buddhism for paying respect to the Buddha and pray for blessings. During the 1950s and subsequent years Tibetan refugees who fled Chinese-annexed Tibet established a new settlement around Boudhanath, turning it into one of the most important centres of Tibetan culture outside Tibet. Today, the place has evolved into a bustling Tibetan cultural hub and you find quite a good no of monasteries in its proximity apart from some amazing Tibetan curio shops, hip cafes.

According to legend, Boudhanath was created by a Khasanita widow named Ma Jhyazima, who sought permission from the king to build the stupa. Constructed largely to house a relic of the Buddha, soon after it became an important centre of Buddhist worship and teaching.

3. A Haven Of Royal Legacy: Kathmandu Durbar Square

Kathmandu Durbar Square also known as Hanuman Dhoka is a magnificent complex of palaces, courtyards, and temples that show the power of the Nepalese monarch from middle age. The palace of the square served as the royal palace of the Malla kings and later until 19th century when it was turned to a museum.

While some parts of the square date back to the 3rd century AD, many of these landmarks were constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries during Georgian times. The buildings, temples and shrines in Durbar Square with their finely carved wooden structures exhibit the traditional Newari architecture of the Kathmandu Valley, and include some of Nepal's most important cultural landmarks.

One of its most famous attractions is the Kumari Ghar, an unassuming building that serves as home to the living goddess Kumari — a young girl who Newar Buddhists and Hindus regard as the earthly embodiment of Taleju. Kumari appears in public only a few times each year, during religious festivals such as Indra Jatra and Dashain. The Taleju Temple, the Basantapur Tower and the Jagannath Temple with its erotic carvings are also other neoclassical structures open to visitor exploration.

The Kathmandu Durbar Square was the coronation site for Nepalese kings. Some of the temples were damaged in the 2015 earthquake, and yet it holds on to its appeal as a historic place where you can see the real Nepal with all its cultural heritages.

4. Swayambhunath Stupa — Monkey Temple, the Symbol of Samadhi

Swayambhunath Stupa Located on top of a hill in the northwest side of Kathmandu city, Swayambhunath Stupa is an ancient and religious site of Nepal. Its roots lie in myths and legends. Legend holds that the Kathmandu Valley was once a great lake and that a lotus flower grew in the center. The word "Swayambhu" is translated as "self-existing," the brilliant opening and appearance of the lotus plus the presence of a divine being introduced from Mapa.

The white dome and gilded spire, crowned with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha peer out over the city. A sacred and religious environment is maintained with different shrines, temples and prayer wheels surrounding the main stupa. The stupa is reached by climbing 365 steps, and has views over the Kathmandu Valley and the distant Himalayas.

There is a large amount of monkeys on/around Swayambhunath and it is also known as the Monkey Temple. The monkeys are revered as deities and are said to be descendants of a Hindu god called Hanuman. The stupa worship place of both Buddhist and Hindu highlighting the harmony between two religions in Nepal.
