Highlights

Overview

Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, which are located in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley, are rich in religious history. Although Bhaktapur is home to the UNESCO-listed Durbar Square and Nyatapola Temple, which display ancient Hindu and Buddhist customs amidst stunning architectural feats, Kathmandu is the location of the well-known Swayambhunath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple.

Trip Preparation

Trip Itinerary

Day 1 : Arrival in Kathmandu

Our officer will meet you at the airport when you arrive.Enter the hotel and check in. Information about the tour and conversation regarding the itinerary. Visit the Pashupatinath Temple for Sandhya Aarati in the evening. Spend the evening in Kathmandu.

Pashupatinath Temple

The Pashupatinath Temple is a well-known and revered Hindu temple complex situated in the eastern portion of Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley, on the banks of the Bagmati River, some five kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, the country’s capital.

Day 2 : Kathmandu Religious visit

Budhanilkantha Temple

We decided to visit the temple, which has a 1400-year-old statue of Lord Vishnu, because the mystery surrounding the Budhanilkantha temple sounded fascinating. What is the Budhanilkantha temple located in Kathmandu, Nepal? It is a different kind of Vishnu temple from the ones we had previously seen.

Kathmandu Durbar Square

The old Nepali royal family and officials once called Kathmandu Durbar Square, or Hanuman Dhoka Durbar, home. In the center of the city is this old palace. It is comprised of a massive Royal Palace with many temples from the 15th to the 18th centuries located both inside and outside the palace. The monkey deity Hanuman is the inspiration behind the name of this palace, as a stone figure of him guards the entire building directly opposite to the main entrance. Inside the Kathmandu Durbar Square premises are numerous Hindu temples, one of which features a glimpse of the Kumari deity, also known as “The Living Goddess.”

Temple Dakshinkali

A popular Hindu pilgrimage site, the blood-stained temple of Dakshinkali is situated at the meeting point of two holy streams in a rocky gully in the forest. The temple is devoted to Kali, the most ferocious manifestation of Parvati. In order to appease the goddess’s desire for blood, pilgrims pull a variety of animals along the pathway to the temple, where the priests, who are also expert butchers, will decapitate and turn them into pieces of meat.

Day 3 : Lalitpur religious visit

Karyabinayak and Bungmati Temple

Situated approximately 10 kilometers south of Kathmandu in Bungamati, Lalitpur District, is the Hindu temple known as Karya Binayak. Under the direction of Purna Singh of Bungamati, the Karyabinayak Temple was constructed on the fourth Thursday of the month of Chait in Nepal, Samvat 781 (1661 AD). In Patan, the reign of Shri Niwas Malla had barely started at this point. Worship is performed within this temple on a naturally occurring stone that is shaped like Ganesha. However, a figure of Ganesha is currently kept as well, coated in exquisite silver. On the other hand, Bungamati’s primary ceremonial center is the Temple of Machhindranath. The village of Bungamati provides the second explanation for the village’s name, while the villagers refer to Machhindranath as “Bungadeya.” The name is derived either from the word “Bungaa,” which means “watering place” or “spring,” or from the village founded at the location where Bhairav howled “bu,” or birthplace.

Patan Durbar Square

The heart of the Nepali city of Lalitpur is Patan Durbar Square. The Kathmandu Valley is home to three Durbar Squares, all of which are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This is one of them. The old royal palace where the Malla Kings of Lalitpur lived is one of its attractions. A wonder of Newa architecture is Durbar Square. Red bricks are used as tiles on the Square’s floor. The area is full of idols and temples. The principal temples face away from the palace’s western facade. The temples’ eastward entrance faces the palace. A bell can also be seen in the alignment next to the main temples. There are also historic Newari homes on the Square. Among the significant temples on the Durbar Square grounds are Krishna Mandir, Shree Banglamukhi Temple, Golden Temple, etc.

Day 4 : Bhaktapur religious visit

Check out of the hotel after breakfast and travel to Bhaktapur’s many holy sites. Doleshwor Mahadev (Head of Kedarnath Temple), Kailashnath Mahadev Statue, and Changunarayan Temple in Bhaktapur Durbar Square are also worth seeing. Once the religious program is over, return to Kathmandu by car. Spend the night in Kathmandu.

Changunarayan Temple

The evidence points to Changu Narayan Temple as the oldest temple in Nepal, having unique architectural features and theological connotations. This is a place that is regularly visited by Hindus from all over the world. They are drawn to holidays like Jugadi Navami, Haribodhini Ekadashi, Naag Panchami, Janai Purnima, and Mahashanan. Apart from that, it’s where the residents perform their daily pujas.

Durbar Square in Bhaktapur.

Located 1,400 meters above sea level, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, also referred to as Khwopa Lyaku locally, was the royal palace of the former Bhaktapur Kingdom. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, that is. Despite its reasonable 6.52 square mile footprint, it is home to a large number of temples and impressive monuments.

Statue of Kailashnath Mahadev

The highest statue of Lord Shiva in the world is that of Kailashnath Mahadev, which is located between the boundaries of the districts of Bhaktapur and Kavrepalanchowk. The statue is noteworthy since it stands 44 meters tall. This translates to a height of roughly 145 feet. This is incredible. You really have to go there once if you want to see this magnificent piece of art up close.

Doleshwor Mahadev (Head of Kedarnath)

Kedarnath’s head rests at Doleshwor Mahadev, which is situated south of Bhaktapur. These may be completed in a single day and are important Hindu pilgrimage destinations. In 1952/53 AD, the chief priest of Kedarnath, Shree 1008 Jagadguru Bheemashaankarling Shivacharya, formally proclaimed the Doleshwor Mahadev as the head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatras.
