Picking you up from the hotel, you will first visit the holy temple of Pashupatinath. This temple is a shrine for Lord Shiva. You can see the place swarming with his devotees.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">(Note: You are not allowed to click pictures inside the temple. So, be careful)</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Then from there, you head towards Boudhanath, the holy ground for Buddhist followers. After touring around the stupa, you drive to Swayambhunath, the monkey temple. This place is another popular Buddhist site.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">You can see the marvelous view of Kathmandu valley from the hilltop. Viewing and exploring the area, you now head towards Basantapur Durbar Square. This square was once the palace of the old kings and queens.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This place offers a Kumari house where the living goddess resides, a museum with ancient artifacts, and many more religious sites. Then from there, you drive to Patan Durbar Square.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This square lies in the Lalitpur district. It is full of religious temples showcasing the Newari architecture. After spending some quality time there, you return back to your hotel.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"></p></div></div></div></div><div class="wte-ai-overlay" style="box-sizing: inherit;"></div></div><div id="nb-5-configurations" class="nb-5-configurations nb-configurations" style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 50px 0px 0px; display: none; transition: 0.3s; border: 0px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 16px;"><div class="post-data useful-info" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.272em; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; padding-bottom: 5px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Best time to visit Kathmandu</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">If you plan on visiting only Kathmandu then any time of the year is fine. But during some festive months, you can see the city come to life.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Such as during the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">month of October</span>, one of the most awaited festivals <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Dipawali </em></span>is celebrated. It is when the whole city lits up in colorful lights and candles.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">In front of every house, you can see arts made out of different colors known as <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Rangoli</span>. Not only houses but the streets are also covered with pretty lights.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">You can also see the Children’s and grown-up’s singing songs and dancing on the street which is known as <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Deusi </span>and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Bhailo</span>.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Whereas Spring is often regarded as the season of colors. Holi is a national festival that usually falls under the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">month of March</span>.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">People smear color and drench each other with water in this festival. If you visit during this month you can view the streets turn into a pool of beautiful colors and water.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Moreover, if you were to visit during festive time you get to be part of the culture.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 25px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.272em; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; padding-bottom: 5px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Places to visit in Kathmandu</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Kathmandu is a big city so a day tour for roaming and visiting places is quite insufficient. Thus we have listed out the important places you can visit in one day’s time. These sites have their own history that you can explore.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 20px; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; line-height: 1.272em; padding-bottom: 5px;"><u style="box-sizing: inherit;">Pashupatinath Temple</u></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Pashupatinath Temple is holy grounds for people following the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Hindu religion</span>. It is listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Tourists mostly visiting this temple are Indians. Non-Hindu followers are not allowed to enter the main temple.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The temple is located at the banks of the Bagmati River in the eastern part of the valley. It is one of the ancient Hindu temples in Kathmandu. It has a golden pagoda style roof with four silver doors on each side.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">No one knows for how many centuries the statue was buried underground but it was erected in the 5th century during the Lichhavi period.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The god that resides inside the temple is Lord Shiva. This temple is one of the most visited religious sites in Asia from the devotee of the god.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">People also hold cremation ceremonies on the banks of the Bagmati river. It is believed if you are to be cremated in this holy ground your soul purifies and goes to heaven.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The hill on the opposite side of the Pashupatinath Temple has got sitting arrangements. From there you can enjoy the mesmerizing view of the temple. Also during the evening time, you can view priests performing Arati ( a special ritual to worship the deity).</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Usually, the temple is crowded during Mondays and festive seasons such as Teej, Maha Shivratri, etc.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Note: You are not allowed to take pictures inside the temple grounds so be careful.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 20px; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; line-height: 1.272em; padding-bottom: 5px;"><u style="box-sizing: inherit;">Bouddhanath Stupa</u></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Boudhanath is also known as “ Little Tibet” in Nepal. The area surrounding the stupa has powerful Tibetan influence in all cultures, traditions, and religions.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The stupa is one of the largest unique structures in Asia, which has been renovated recently.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The stupa is holy grounds for Buddha followers and monks. People living around the stupa are mostly Buddhists.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Boudhanath is a wide white dome that is <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">36 meters high </span>and dominates the skyline. It is designed in the shape of Mandala that is similar to the Gyangtse of Tibet.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">It has three floors and people can be seen walking on the first floor of the stupa. However, the second and third are restricted to enter. You can take photographs as a symbol of memories.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">As you walk around the stupa you can notice that it is surrounded by cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, etc. You can also hear the holy chants being played from the shops.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The nightlife in Bouddha is quite fascinating as it is peaceful compared to day time. You can see candles being lit in one corner of the stupa. Also, the view from the top of the restaurants is breathtaking.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Note: While visiting Bouddha if you have time to spare you should try the Tibetan foods such as T- momo, laphing, etc.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 20px; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; line-height: 1.272em; padding-bottom: 5px;"><u style="box-sizing: inherit;">Patan Durbar Square</u></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Patan Durbar square is located at the heart of Lalitpur. It takes about one and a half hours to reach there. It is one of the oldest Buddhist cities which centers both religion i.e. Hindu and Buddhism.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">It is an admiration of Newari Architecture, with many temples and idols in the area. Patan was said to be a thriving city since earlier times.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Out of many attractions in this place, one of them is the royal palace of Malla king. This area is filled with old palaces from the Malla dynasty.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Another attraction is the famous <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Krishna Mandir</span> where stories are carved on the pillar of stones. The temple is built with magnificent stone architecture.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This place is mostly home for the Newar community who has been living here for centuries. They are the creator of many temples and structures that reside in and out of the Durbar Square.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The Newari culture is still alive in these areas, the local dishes are something you should try. Newari dishes are pretty famous among the people living in Kathmandu.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Durbar Square also has various temples and museums where you can learn more about their history.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; font-family: var(--secondary-font); font-size: 20px; color: var(--heading-font-color); position: relative; line-height: 1.272em; padding-bottom: 5px;"><u style="box-sizing: inherit;">Basantapur Durbar Square</u></h3><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Kathmandu Durbar Square is mostly known as<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> Basantapur Durbar square</span>. It is located in basantapur and considered the heart and soul of the place.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">It holds historical and cultural importance to Nepalese people. Basantapur is considered prosperous in culture and arts.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The Kings who ruled during that time held their palaces in the Durbar Square. It was surrounded by architecture that showcased the skills of the Newar Community.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Inside Basantapur Durbar square different temples and memorials can be viewed such as Hanuman Dhoka, Taleju Temple, etc.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Basantapur Durbar Square also has a museum filled with artifacts of the kings, queens and their families that resided during ancient times.
