What To Expect

1

Swaymbhunath

You will be picked up from your location and head towards the Swayambhunath Stupa, The Monkey Temple. You will head towards the west of Kathmandu city where lies the Swayambhunath Stupa. You will then take the east entrance to reach the top of the stupa. It has 365 stairs to be exact that carries you to the top for the fantastic view of the city itself. You can find many small shrines and souvenir shops on the way to top with monkeys roaming around freely. You are free to take pictures on the road, and some monkeys might pose for a photo too. As you reach the final steps, you will see a giant gold-plated thunderbolt (Vajra). It is one of the essential monuments there. Also, right next to it is the large white dome with a cubical top. It is the Swayambhunath stupa that did not fall even though many other temples around the area crumbled after the earthquake of 2015. You will also see many prayers wheels of different sizes almost in every part around the Swayambhunath.

Amideva Buddha Park

Right at the end of your Swayambhunath Tour, you will find yourself on the next side of the hill. At first glance, three big statues of Buddha will mesmerize you. As people tend to miss the opportunity to visit the Buddha park, this will be a more significant opportunity to glance at the shining golden statues of Shakyamuni Buddha. After a specific time there, you will move forward to your next destination, which is Patan Durbar Square.

    Roshan is a very thoughtful, knowledgeable and flexible guide. He has accommodated all of our requests and made our experience memorable. I would definitely book with Roshan again next time I'm back in Kathmandu for tours.
