What To Expect
Swayambhunath, often referred to as the "Monkey Temple," stands as a timeless symbol of spirituality and cultural heritage in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal. This ancient stupa, perched atop a lush hill, exudes an air of mystical serenity. Its iconic white dome topped with a golden spire is adorned with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, symbolizing wisdom and compassion. Surrounded by prayer flags, stupas, and countless fluttering prayer wheels, Swayambhunath offers a profound spiritual experience. As the gentle tinkling of bells fills the air, and the playful monkeys that inhabit the area roam freely, visitors are immersed in a sacred ambiance. The panoramic views from this vantage point of the Kathmandu Valley are awe-inspiring, making Swayambhunath a place of pilgrimage, meditation, and deep cultural significance that enchants travelers and devotees alike.

5.00We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Anon was very informative with not only the history of the landmarks we went to but also about Nepal in general which is something we value from tours. I felt like we were able to learn alot on this tour. We were able to stay as long as we wanted in certain locations and didn’t feel rushed at all. He handled all of our tickets and was able to answer all of our questions. Our driver was also great! Managed the roads very carefully and made us feel safe in the car. Great tour and highly recommend!

5.00Our guide Ananta Kafle was wonderful. He met us at our hotel, and we were on our way. He adjusted to the pace we wanted (fast through some stops, slow through some). He provided a great level of service. This is a great tour to see quick hits in Kathmandu if you only have a day or two.
