If you have less time to spare – perhaps before or after your trek Kathmandu Nagarkot Tour 2 Night 3 Days might be just an idea to see some of the country’s sites – we can take you to the main sights in Kathmandu. Also up to Nagarkot, the viewpoint for the Langtang Range and other mountains. Kathmandu has a wide variety of exciting places to visit. The heritage of the city is overall Newari – the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. But there are several Rana Palaces from the 18 th and 19 th centuries that might be interesting to some of you. Since Kathmandu is made up of the three ancient towns of Patan, Kathmandu, and Bhaktapur, there are naturally three Durbar (or palace) Squares. All three squares are full of ancient temples and are both similar to each other and every different! Unfortunately, all three were severely affected by the 2015 earthquake. Some of the temples are under reconstruction or repair. As you might be aware, Nepal has both Hindus and Buddhists living here. The temple complex of Pashupatinath houses the holiest Hindu temple, which non-Hindus Cannot enter. However, you can view the burning ghats and soak up the atmosphere of the complex.
On the other hand, just a little along the road, Boudhanath houses the largest Buddhist stupa in the country. Here it is a bit like being in a little Tibet. You can witness many Tibetan origin people doing kora around the stupa, particularly in the early morning and early evening. Since the original Newari inhabitants combined both Hinduism and Buddhism into their daily lives, the stupa at Swayambhunath reflects both. Leaving the city behind we can drive up to Nagarkot to see the spectacular vista of the Langtang Range. Sunrise is particularly stunning. There is a lot more to do in Kathmandu. We can visit the surrounding areas like shopping, bar hopping in the tourist area of Thamel, etc. Further, we can explore the narrow winding streets in the old town, visiting Baber Mahal, the majestic palaces of the Rana era, etc.
What we have outlined here is a Kathmandu Nagarkot Tour 2 Night 3 Days, but your stay in Kathmandu can be as long or short as the time you have available. And as varied as your interests. Please ask us!
