## About

Begin your tour at the Swayambhunath Stupa, known as the Monkey Temple due to the large population of monkeys that roam the area. Admire the stupa adorned with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha painted on all four sides, symbolizing awareness.

Next, head to the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest temples of Lord Shiva in the world and an important pilgrimage site for Hindus. Witness the unique Hindu funeral rituals taking place along the ghats at the Bagmati River, where devotees come to pay their last respects to their loved ones.

Continue to the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in the world and a focal point for Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. Participate in the spiritual practice of kora, walking clockwise around the stupa while spinning prayer wheels and offering prayers.

Finally, visit the Kathmandu Durbar Square, a historic area that served as the royal palace for the Malla kings of Kathmandu. Admire the intricate architecture of the Hanuman Dhoka Palace and the various temples scattered throughout the square.
