Itinerary
- Day 1
Kathmandu
Pick-up happens between 6:25-6:45 AM from your hotel, so you'll want to be ready early. The guided tour takes you first to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where you can walk through ancient temples and see the old royal palaces up close. From there, head to Swayambhunath Stupa, also called the Monkey Temple, and you'll get to spin prayer wheels while taking in the mix of Buddhist and Hindu elements around the site. After lunch (timing depends on your guide), the next stop is Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most sacred spots in the city. You'll circle the stupa with other visitors and if you time it right, you might catch monks chanting. The day wraps up with a return to your hotel around 6:30 PM, so it's a full but manageable schedule for getting oriented with Kathmandu's main cultural sites.
