We will begin our tour with the famous Pashupatinath Temple as a good beginning always leads to a good end. Our next stop will be Boudhunath Stupa, located just 2 km away from Pashupatinath Temple. There are many cafes and restaurants near Boudhunath Stupa where you can enjoy delicious food and have your lunch as well. We will then set our destination to Swayambhunath Stupa (9 km from Boudhunath Stupa). Our last step will be Kathmandu Durbar Square, the heart of the city. 

5:00 AM: After a complete UNESCO World Heritage Site tour, you will be taken back to your hotel so that you can rest and reenergize for the next day. 

Pashupatinath Temple 

It is the most important and sacred Hindu temple in the world dedicated to Lord Shiva. The millennium-old temple houses the main temple and a compound surrounded by a wide array of shrines, ashrams, and temples. The temple is located on the banks of the Bagmati River which further beautifies the scarred temple. 

Boudhunath Stupa 

If Pashupatinath Temple is the most sacred pilgrim site for Hindus, the Boudhunath Stupa holds the same importance for Buddhists. According to a couple of records, the stupa was made in the 5th Century CE, making it one of the oldest stupas in the world. There are more than  40 monasteries near the stupa and the whole area is filled with Buddhist settlements. 

Swayambhunath Stupa

It is one of the oldest monuments in Nepal as it is believed that the stupa dates back to the origins of the Kathmandu Valley itself. According to records, the stupa was built some 1500 years ago but religious beliefs go further back in time. The hilltop has both Hindu shrines and Buddhist stupas and it receives thousands of visitors every day. 

Kathmandu Durbar Square 

Known as the heart of the Kathmandu Valley, this place is a museum of shrines, temples, and architectural marvels. This used to be the old royal palace and that’s why it holds so much importance among Nepalese people and the government. The entire palace was built somewhere near the 15th Century and new foundations kept being added. 

*There are additional activities like the Mountain Everest flight that you can book on your own and get an aerial view of the mountains. It is an optional tour that has to be arranged by you. 
 

8:00 AM: After a healthy breakfast at the hotel, we will head towards Pokhara on our private cab. It will take around 6-7 hours to cover the distance of 201 km between Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Manakamana Temple

This temple is known for grating wishes to whoever enters its premises and prays to Goddess Bhagvati, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. This temple was built in 1678 by  Arman Rayamajhi and the inclusion of the cable car has further increased the footfall at this temple.

As soon as the sun rises from the laps of the mountains, it paints the sky golden and makes the mountains glitter as gold. This is a view that is going to stay in your memory till your last breath. Click some pictures, enjoy the sunrise, and then return to the hotel for breakfast. 

10:00 AM: After breakfast, you will have some free time in which you can go on for activities as per your interest.

Then we will finally head towards the beautiful Phewa Lake and end our 4th-day sightseeing by returning to the hotel. 

Davis Fall

Davis Fall, also known as Patale Chango among the locals is a mystical waterfall. The water falling to the bottom creates a subterranean tunnel (500 feet long) and the entire waterfall with the water disappearing at the bottom looks nothing less than a magic trick. It is considered the most mysterious waterfall of Nepal and it transforms into a giant during monsoon season. 

Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave 

This cave is known as Bhalu Dulo among the locals and is one of the biggest caves in Nepal with its length reaching almost 2 km. The cave is on the other side of Davis Falls and you can hear the thundering water of Davis waterfall from inside the cave. There is also a statue of Lord Shiva just 40 meters into the cave. 

Bindhyabasini Temple

The temple sits on the top of a hill, 3000 above sea level, in the old town of Pokhara. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Bindhyabasini, an incarnation of Goddess Kali. In the premise of the temple, you can find small temples of other gods and goddesses as well. And you get an amazing view of Annapurna and Dhulagiri mountain range. 

Phewa Lake 

The spectacular and still lake is surrounded by Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges and you can easily see the reflection of these two mountain ranges in the lake.
