This morning it's time for your guided sightseeing of four key cultural and heritage sites in Kathmandu. After breakfast, you'll be met by your guide before heading to nearby Kathmandu Durbar Square, an impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site and hugely important place in Nepalese history and culture. You'll be able to visit the ancient palace complex and the temple of the Living Goddess of Nepal, the Kumari. You'll also visit Hanuman Dhoka and Kasthamandap Temple. From here, we'll drive to Pashupatinath Temple, the holiest shrine for Hindus, situated on the banks of the holy Bagmati River and an important temple complex and cremation site. We'll also visit Boudhnath Stupa, an important Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage site and the centre of Tibetan pilgrimage in Nepal. The huge stupa is one of the largest dome stupas in the world and is surrounded by many small monasteries, shops and cafes. Another key site you'll explore today is Swoyambhunath Stupa (also known as the Monkey Temple) on a hilltop which overlooks the city below. Mingle with the locals, pilgrims and monks here before returning to the hotel. This evening is at leisure to rest and relax. Overnight Kathmandu.
