City sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swoyambhunath Stupa

City sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swoyambhunath Stupa and Patan Durbar Square. Kathmandu Durbar Square – the seat of royalty till the last century.

Katmandu Durbar Square is a wondrous cluster of ancient temples, palaces, courtyards and streets. The most noteworthy among them are the Hanuman Dhoka Palace Complex, Kumari Dyochhen and the Taleju Temple. Even to date, all major state and religious ceremonies, including the solemnization of coronations, are carried out in one or the other courtyards within this complex. 

Swayambhunath;:
Atop a green hill west of Kathmandu stands the great Stupa of Swayambhunath, a site over 2,500 years old marking the point where the legendary patriarch Manjushri discovered the lotus of the ancient Valley Lake. For centuries an important center of Buddhist learning, the painted eyes of the Buddha gaze out from all four sides of the monument. Constructed to specific rules each with a symbolic meaning, the Stupa of Swayambhunath is a model of its kind. Its dazzling white hemispherical mound represents the ladder to nirvana, itself symbolized by the umbrella on the top. The whole is hung with multi-colored prayer flags who’s every flutter releases holy prayers. The faithful circumambulate the Stupa clockwise, turning the banks of prayer wheels and even prostrating full-length in reverence.

Patan City: The ancient city of Patan, lying 5 km southeast of Kathmandu, is known as the city of fine arts. The diversity of the medieval culture has left a rich legacy of impressive sightseeing in this city for today's visitors.

Either early morning or after the city sightseeing, you will be doing Yoga and Meditation for couple of hours to experience and feel the spiritual bond between you and the gods as well as your body learning to relax.

Early morning Mt Everest flight! Additional cost of $260.00

Everest Experience is a close-encounter mountain flight-seeing tour with Buddha Air. Indulge in the panorama and maybe, just maybe, you might realize what you have been missing or find what you have been looking for. After breakfast will proceed for City tour, of Bhaktapur, Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhhanath Stupa.

Nothing compares to the sheer beauty or awe the Himalayas has to offer. Take the mother of all mountain flights, the Everest Experience where we put you, one on one with Mt. Everest, so close that you can almost touch it.

The flight usually lasts between 50 minutes up to an hour. The planes take off  from TIA – Domestic Airport, Kathmandu. During the flight, you will catch a glimpse of 20 of the highest peaks to the East of Nepal starting from the Langtang Lirung peak which is the closest peak to Kathmandu, then move towards Mt. Everest in the East and finally fly to Chamlang peak. From there, the plane takes a turn and the passengers get a second look at the view while they make their way back to Kathmandu.

The mountain flight not only allows you to enjoy fantastic views but also helps you to understand the geography of Nepal. Although mountain flights do not have a long history, it has gained popularity among tourists for the beauty that it promises. We offer mountain flights every day, early in the mornings, when the Himalayas views are the best!

·   First flight starts at 6:00 am early in the morning.

·   Mount Everest 20 miles from your window.

·   Witness fantastic Himalayan peaks, Lakes and glaciers.

Everest and Lhotse from a guaranteed window seat on the aircraft.                                                                                                                

 Bhaktapur Situated at an altitude of 1350 m, Bhaktapur or ( Bhadgaon is also popularly known)  covers an area of four square miles. Bhaktapur or "the City of Devotees" still retains the medieval charm and visitors to this ancient town are treated myriad wonders of cultural and artistic achievements

Bhaktapur Durbar Square – of the valley’s three Durbar Squares, the one in Bhaktapur is the best preserved. Still emanating the medieval aura, this splendid palatial complex has its gems in such artistic masterpieces as the 55 – windows palace, the golden gate, golden spout, the taleju temple complex and nyatapolo, the five storied temple in the nearby Taunadi Square. The 15th century Dattareya temple and the world famous peacock windows at Tachpal, the terra – cotta window at Tahamala and Nepal’s largest Shiva Lingum at Hanumanghat are also there to keep visitors spell bound.

 Pashupatinath; It is situated 5 kms east of Kathmandu on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River. The temple of lord Shiva, Pashupatinath, with a tiered golden roof & silver doors is famous for its superb architecture. Entrance to the temple precinct is forbidden to non-Hindus. The best view is from the terrace on the wooded hill across the river. The large gilded triple-roofed temple was built in 1696 AD though 300 years earlier there was a structure on this site. The Bagmati River is lined with dharmasalas and cremation ghats including a royal ghat reserved exclusively for members of the royal family. There is usually a cremation in progress on one of the platforms by the river, regarded as holy as it flows into the sacred Ganges. There are many occasions when the faithful take ritual purificatory baths in the river. One of the most colorful is the women's festival of Teej when dressed in their finest red and gold saris hundreds of women, laughing and singing converge on Pashupatinath.

Boudhanath Stupa – which is also known as Khasti, is one of the world’s largest stupas. The unique aspect of this great Buddhist monument is that it is set in the octagonal mandala design. Also set into the niches around this huge structure are the hundreds of prayer wheels and 108 images of Buddha adorning the stupa. Another notable aspect of the area is the presence of about four dozen monasteries around it. Boudhanath lies some 6 km to the east of the city center.

Full day at Chitwan National Park with Wildlife viewing activities.

Chitwan National Park stands today as a successful testimony of nature conservation in South Asia. This is the first National park of Nepal established in 1973 to preserve a unique ecosystem significantly valuable to the whole world. The park covering a pristine area of 932 sq. km is situated in the subtropical inner Terai lowlands of southern central part of Nepal. The park has gained much wider recognition in the world when UNESCO included this area on the list of World Heritage Site in 1984.

 

Formerly, the Chitwan valley was well known for big game and was exclusively managed as a hunting reserve for the Rana Prime Ministers and their guests until 1950. In 1963, the area south of Rapti was demarcated as a Rhinoceros Sanctuary. In 1970, His late Majesty King Mahendra had approved in principle the creation of Chitwan National Park.

 

The park consists of churia hills, ox-bow lakes, and flood plains of Rapti, Reu and Narayani Rivers. The Churia hill rises gradually towards the east from 150 m to over 800 m. The lower but most rugged Someshwor hills occupy most of the western portion of the park. The flood plains of Chitwan are rich alluvial. The park boundaries have been delineated by the Narayani and Rapti Rivers in the north and west, and the Reu River and Someshwor hills in the south and south-west. It shares its eastern border with Parsa Wildlife Reserve.

Chitwan to Pokhara

After lunch we will have boating trip on Phewa lake or other city tour activities. Overnight at Fishtail Lodge.

Pokhara is situated in the northwestern corner of the Pokhara valley 210 kms west of Kathmandu city, which is a widening of the Seti Gandaki valley. The Seti River and its tributaries have dug impressive canyons into the valley floor, which are only visible from higher viewpoints or from the air. To the east of Pokhara is the municipality of Lekhanath, another town in the valley.

 

In no other place do mountains rise so quickly. In this area, within 30 km, the elevation rises from 1,000 m to over 7,500 m. The Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu ranges, each with peaks over 8,000 m, can be seen from Pokhara and there is a Lake named Phewa Tal (Tal means lake in the Nepali language), three caves (Mahendra, Bat and Gupteswor) and an impressive falls (Patale Chhango or Devi's Fall) where the water from the Phewa Lake thunders into a hole and disappears. Due to this sharp rise in altitude the area of Pokhara has one of the highest precipitation rates of the country (over 4,000 mm/year). Even within the city there is a noticeable difference in the amount of rain between the south of the city by the lake and the north at the foot of the mountains.

 

The climate is sub-tropical but due to the elevation the temperatures are moderate: the summer temperatures average between 25–35 °C, in winter around 5–15 °C.

 

In the south the city borders on Phewa lake (4.4 km² at an elevation of about 800 m above sea level), in the north at an elevation of around 1,000 m the outskirts of the city touch the base of the Annapurna mountain range. From the southern fringes of the city 3 eight-thousanders (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu) and, in the middle of the Annapurna range, the Machapuchare (Nepali language Machhapucchare means 'Fishtail') with close to 7,000 m can be seen. This mountain dominates the northern horizon of the city and its name derives from its twin peaks, not visible from the south.
