Outline Itinerary

Begin the day at Pashupatinath Temple, the holiest Hindu shrine in Nepal and one of the key spiritual sites also revered in India. Witness cremation ghats, sadhus, and temple architecture that dates back to Indian Vedic traditions.
Visit Boudhanath, the largest stupa in Nepal, known for its Buddhist philosophy intertwined with Indian Mahayana and Vajrayana influence. Watch monks, chant prayers, and spin prayer wheels alongside pilgrims.
Explore Patan (Lalitpur), the city of fine arts. Visit Krishna Mandir (built in Indian Mughal style), Mahabouddha Temple, and observe metalwork and stone carvings that reflect centuries of Indo-Nepali craftsmanship.
Stop at a traditional Indian restaurant in the Patan or Thamel area. Enjoy North or South Indian cuisine (vegetarian or non-veg). Lunch not included but options will be suggested.
Explore Seto Machindranath Temple in central Kathmandu, where Hindu and Buddhist traditions merge. Worshippers from both India and Nepal pay homage to this rain deity, celebrated in festivals that blend both cultures.
Your guide will escort you back to your hotel or offer an optional walk through Ason and Indra Chowk—busy heritage markets influenced by centuries of Indo-Nepali trade and rituals.
