Day 02: Kathmandu
After breakfast at the hotel we enjoy a full day sightseeing of Kathmandu City, Swaymbhunath, Patan & the Tibetan Handicraft Centre.
Durbar Square is the heart of Kathmandu and encompasses not only Durbar Square, but also Hanuman Dhoka Square, Basantapur Square, Hanuman Dhoka, and Maru Tole. With more than 50 temples and shrines within a few blocks of one another, the square contains one of the most concentrated groupings of historical structures in the valley. This complex of palaces, courtyards and temples, built between the 12th and 18th centuries, were once the seat of the ancient Malla kings of Kathmandu.
Swayambhunath is one of the World's most glorious Buddhist Stupas. Painted on the four-sides of the spire bases are the never sleeping eyes of Lord Buddha, always keeping a close watch over the Valley from a top of a hillock. It lays 3 kms. West of the city and situated about 77m above the level of the Valley.
Patan, originally known as Lalitpur, is situated on the southern bank of the river Bagmati River and is 5 kms southeast of Kathmandu. Its Durbar Square is an enchanting melange of palace buildings, artistic courtyards and graceful pagoda temples. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the former royal palace complex is the center of Patan's religious and social life, and houses a museum containing an array of bronze statues and religious objects. One remarkable monument here is a 17th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, built entirely of stone. At the Tibetan Handicraft Centre we witness the making of Tibetan and Nepali Handicrafts. Overnight Hotel
