Since ancient times the Kathmandu valley has been an intermingling
point for travelers and merchants from Tibet to the north
and India to the south. This ideal location and highly fertile
soils have left Kathmandu Valley with a plenitude of both
Hindu and Buddhist temples as well as the spectacular medieval
cities of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. We'll take a
morning tour of the valley to see the key sites such as
the classic Newari (the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu
Valley) architecture in the medieval city of Bhaktapur,
the Hindu temple complex at Pashupatinath (a UNESCO World
Heritage Site), and the Buddhist stupa at Bodhnath. The
afternoon is yours to freely explore the many interesting
sites in Kathmandu and Patan.
