About Kathmandu: Budhanilkantha Temple Guided Tour with Transfer

Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu. Travel to the Budhanilkantha Temple, located at the base of Shivapuri Hill, approximately 9 km north of central Kathmandu. Upon arrival, admire the colossal black basalt stone statue of Lord Vishnu resting on a bed of 11 multi-headed snakes (nagas).

Learn about the symbolism of the image, which depicts Vishnu in a state of yoga nidra (meditative sleep) in the cosmic ocean, a powerful symbol of creation and rest. See the pond, which is fed by a natural underground spring that is also the source of the Budhanilkantha stream. If you visit during festivals like Haribodhini Ekadashi (late October/early November), experience the temple's vibrant atmosphere and witness a large fair (mela) held to celebrate the awakening of Lord Vishnu from his long sleep.
