Know Before You Go

Swayambhunath Stupa:

Said to be around 2000 years old, this Buddhist Stupa sits atop a hill.

The main stupa is composed of a solid hemisphere of brick and earth supporting a lofty conical spire crowned by a pinnacle of Copper gilt.

Painted on the four-sided base of the spire are the all-seeing eyes of Lord Buddha.

The hill of Swayambhunath is a mosaic of small Chaityas and Pagoda temples.

You’ll get a scenic view of Kathmandu city from there.

Patan City:

Located about 5 km south of Kathmandu, Patan is one of 3 royal cities in the valley.

A destination for connoisseurs of fine arts, Patan is filled with wood and stone carvings, metal statues, ornate architecture, including dozens of Buddhist and Hindu temples, and over 1200 monuments.

Patan is believed to have been built in the third century B.C. by the Kirat dynasty later expanded and enriched by the Licchavi and the Malla rulers in the medieval period.

Patan Durbar Square, like its counterpart in Kathmandu, is an enchanting mélange of palace buildings, artistic courtyards, and graceful pagoda temples.

The former Royal palace complex is the center of Patan’s religious and social life and houses a beautiful museum.

One remarkable monument here is the 16th-century temples dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, built entirely of stone.

Kathmandu City:

Kasthamandap, the source of the name Kathmandu means ‘made from the timber of a single tree’.

Also known as Kantipur, the capital Kathmandu is the hub of Nepal's art and culture.

It is a place for rest, relaxation, and easy-day sightseeing of historic and artistic temples and monuments.

Kathmandu Durbar Square with its arrays of temples, Seto Machhindranath and the ancient palace of the former Nepali Royals enriches your experience of the centuries-old civilization.

Chitwan National Park Overview:

Chitwan National Park is the first national park in Nepal.

Formerly called Royal Chitwan National Park, it was established in 1973 and granted the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984.

It covers an area of 932 km2 (360 sq mi) and is located in the subtropical inner Terai lowlands of south-central Nepal in the Chitwan district.

In altitude, it ranges from about 100 m (330 ft) in the river valleys to 815 m (2,674 ft) in the Churia Hills.

In the north and west of the protected area, the Narayani-Rapti river system forms a natural boundary to human settlements.

Adjacent to the east of Chitwan National Park is Parsa Wildlife Reserve, contiguous in the south is the Indian Tiger Reserve Valmiki National Park.

The coherent protected area of 2,075 km2 (801 sq mi) represents the Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU) Chitwan-Parsa-Valmiki, which covers a 3,549 km2 (1,370 sq mi) huge block of alluvial grasslands and subtropical moist deciduous forests.

Pokhara valley

Pokhara valley (833m.) lies 200 km west of the Kathmandu valley, making it the second biggest city in Nepal.

This city gained particular interest when explorers discovered it is the only valley globally from where one can see snow-capped mountains higher than 8000m, lying approximately 25 to 35 km away at an aerial distance.

It is the most popular destination in Nepal after Kathmandu and serves as the starting point for renowned trekking areas such as Fishtail, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri.

Sarangkot offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Annapurna Mountain Range.

Situated very close to Pokhara town, it is a semi-developed village located on a hilltop.

It is a two-hour walk up the staircase, or you can do most of the way up by vehicle.
