Kathmandu Valley and Lumbini Tour Package

Kathmandu Valley and Lumbini are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites defined by the religious and cultural heritage they carry. Their religious sentiments are reflected in the architectural designs and monuments.

Kathmandu Valley

Kathmandu Valley, influenced by Newari culture, epitomizes the blending of architecture and culture. Most of the religious sites can be seen decked with pagoda-style designs in all three Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan cities. All three cities have Durbar Square, an ancient palace for the then-ruling dynasties of Kathmandu Valley. These Durbar Squares hold many important temples and sites, such as Kumari Ghar, Kasthamandap Temple, Nyatapola Temple, Krishna Mandir,Bhimsen Temple, Shiva Mandir, etc.

Swayambhunath Temple stands atop a hill that looks over the Kathmandu Valley. The Swayambhunath Stupa towers over and radiates magnificence with its Buddha eyes. An important holy site for both Hindus and Buddhists, the Swayambhunath Temple holds many temples and monasteries dedicated to Gautama Buddha.

Similar to Swayambhunath, Boudhanath Temple is also an important holy site for Buddhists. Filled with mani wheels and monasteries, Boudhanath has a similar aesthetic.

Pashupatinath Temple is a major Hindu temple on the banks of the Bagmati River. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is famous for its Shiva linga and shrines. Other temples include Panch Deval (Five Temples), Bachhareshwari Temple, and Ram Temple.

Famously known as the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, Lumbini has always been an ultimate travel destination for both Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims alike.

Standing next to the temple is a large pillar known as the Ashoka Pillar. The Pillar, a gift of Emperor Ashoka, is a holy shrine with inscriptions of Buddhism.
