Sightseeing Kathmandu . We begin from Pashupatinath Temple-one of the holiest Hindu Temples in entire South Asia. The temple is situated on the bank of sacred Bagmati River which is a tributary of sacred Ganges. Admission to the temple is reserved for Hindus only, yet we can have close up view of the temple from other side of the river. The temple and the surroundings are vibrant with rites and rituals performed by Hindu devotees. We will also have opportunity to watch the Hindu cremation services in the bank of the river. The next stop would be the giant Boudnath Stupa-Asia’s one of the largest Buddhist shrine. The stupa with 100m (328 ft) diameter and 40 m (130 ft) height can be spotted from many view points in Kathmandu. There are a number of Buddhist monasteries around and the area is dominantly Tibetan in character and reminds very much of Barkhor area of Lhasa. Bhaktapur is one of the three medieval principalities of Kathmandu valley and the best preserved one. Bhaktapur, with its Durbar Square with beautiful palaces and temples with intricate woodcarving and fabulous stone sculptures and brick paved streets looks like an open air museum! The major attractions in Bhaktapur are the Palace of 55 windows, the giant Taleju Bell in front of the palace, the golden gilded gate with beautiful metal works in its semi circular pediment, the royal bath tank inside the palace, 5 storied Naytapola temple that survived the earth quake of 1934, Duttratraya Temple, and Pujarimath complex with Peacock window-the masterpiece woodcarving in Nepal. We walk through the narrow alleys with private houses in both sides, and visit potter’s square where we learn the traditional methods of pottery making. We will also take chance to stop by a wood carvers’ workshop near Duttratraya.

Drive to Bandipur 5 hours.

. It’s a little more than 4 hours scenic drive. The road follows the rivers, goes through the terraced farmland and villages and ultimately brings us to the medieval looking Bandipur village. Bandipur once was a vibrant town on the Nepal-India trade route but after construction of modern road in the 70s, it lost its attention. But because of its hilltop location, preserved, old time cultural atmosphere and mild weather and great mountain vistas, its drawing attention of the travelers. This town is still very less visited by foreign tourists and worth visiting. We check in our boutique heritage style accommodation and after wash and change, we set out to explore the wonders of the area. On a clear weather day, Bandipur affords magnificent views of the central Himalayas and the Marshyangdi Valley. We begin with a visit to the Khadga Devi Temple, the most sacred and auspicious temple in Bandipur. Then we head up to the Martyrs Memorial Area, which honors seven Bandipur men who were killed during the anti-Rana insurrection of 1951. Then we head down to the shrine of Paarpani Mahadev (Shiva), who receives appeals for rain from Bandipure villagers during dry spells. We return to the bazaar along the main trail, If you want a bit more active walking, then we recommend visit to the Silk Farm, which is less than half an hour’s walk towards the west. The staff there will give you an interesting tour-and-talk on the history and method of silk harvesting in the Nepali hills. A quick descent to the bazaar will bring you to a unique and typical Newari town.
