About this experience
Ever wonder to visit less crowded but equally worthy spot near Kathmandu, book this with the experienced tour guide, private Hotel pick up and drop off and only actual sightseeing in a sharing basis.
Pharping, is the sacred site of Yangleshö, famous for both Hinduism and Buddhism where Padmasambhava (Guru Rimpoche, known as lotus born God who spread Tibetan Buddhism in Tibeat) attained the level of Mahamudra vidyadhara.
Other important religious sites are Vajrayogini temple, Shesnarayan temple, Gorakhnath temple and self-arising Ganesh near Asura Cave.
Further south lays Dakshinkali temple dedicated to Goddess Kali. Devotees sacrifice chickens, goats, sheep and many more as an offering to the goddess. Dakshinkali is famous as a blood thirsty incarnation of goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva.
Come to Kirtipur for exquisite architecture, hilltop temples, and sweeping city views. Kirtipur offers some of the finest views of sprawling Kathmandu and the hills and mountains beyond.
