About this experience
Enjoy Half-day sightseeing tour of Kathmandu City, Swoyambhunath stupa and Pasupatinath temple which are UNESCO Heritage site located in Kathmandu valley with experience tour guide. Swoyambhunath Stupa is located at hilltop offering excellent view of Kathmandu Valley floor and Himalayan ranges. Swoyambhunath stupa is perhaps best place to see cultural harmony of Hindus and Buddhist in Nepal.
We visit another very prominent and religious sites called Pasupatinath Temple. A temple dedicated to lord Shiva. Built in the 5th century, it is one of the eight UNESCO Cultural Heritage Sites of the Kathmandu Valley. It is also a cremation site where the last rites of Hindus are performed. The rituals of cremation is not for the faint hearted; still visitors are seen watching curiously from across the river from the hillside. There are around 492 temples, 15 Shivalayas (shrines of Lord Shiva) and 12 Jyotirlinga (phallic shrines) to explore.
