Day 15 Kathmandu B/

After breakfast visiting the 2000‑years‑old Swoyambhunath Stupa (UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979), also known as “Monkey Temple.” This temple charms with its great dazzling Stupa, while at the same time offering a view of Kathmandu city. The two‑thousand‑years‑old Stupa is the most profound expression of Buddhist symbolism in Nepal. There’s evidence to believe the hill was used for animist rites even before Buddhism arrived in the valley two thousand years ago.

After Swoyambhunath Stupa visit to Patan (likes to recall its old name Lalitpur) (UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979), City of Beauty and although now largely absorbed by greater Kathmandu, this once powerful independent kingdom still maintains a defiantly distinct identity. Compared to Kathmandu it’s quieter, less frenetic and more Buddhist (there may be a correlation). Above all, it remains a proud city of artisans. Patan is well known by its temples and handcrafts, besides the amazing creation of the beautiful fine decoration of Durbar Plaza, full of the finest pieces of Newari architecture of Nepal.

At last visit to Boudhanath Stupa (UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979). This is a fantastic Buddhist stupa at a place known as Buddha, about seven kilometres east of Kathmandu. The largest spherical stupa is held in great veneration both by Lamas of Nepal and Tibet.

After Boudhanath Stupa drive back to hotel. Late afternoon free on your own. Farewell Dinner.

Day 16 Kathmandu Departure B/

After breakfast depart to airport to fly home with lovely memories of Nepal.
