Kathmandu Day Tour.
Bouddhanath
The Bouddhanath Stupa is popular as one of the largest stupas on Earth and is located on the eastern borders of Kathmandu. The stupa was constructed in the 14th century on an octagonal base and is encircled by prayer wheels carved beautifully with Buddhists prayers. It also holds the ever-present Buddha eyes on all four sides of the stupas. Festooned with colorful prayer flags hung from the base to the top of the stupa, it makes the set beautiful. Observing monks, with a maroon outfit and shaven heads chanting mantras in the serene set will amaze anyone.
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square is brimming with the oldest temples and old Palaces that reflect the by-gone era of monarchial rulings in the country. It is heavy with the feeling of nostalgia and reminiscences of days gone by. Built-in unique Pagoda style, the temples and Palaces are opulently decorated and lavishly carved with intricate designs. One of them was constructed in the 3rd century and will truly fascinate you. The Hanuman Dhoka Palace in the Square, built by King Pratap Malla, was used for royal ceremonies till 2001.
