Kathmandu Tour Package - 3 Nights 4 Days Nepal Package

Kathmandu Tour Package is the 3 nights 4 days Nepal Package and is popularly known as Kathmandu Holiday Package, 3 Nights 4 Days Nepal Tour Package, 4 Days Nepal Tour, and Kathmandu Travel Package. It is the perfect tour in Nepal to experience and explore the glorious history, rich cultures, and vibrant arts and architecture. The tour includes 7 Unesco heritage sites in Kathmandu. Therefore, it is also popular as Kathmandu Heritage Tour, Nepal Heritage Tour, Nepal Unesco Tour, or Nepal Cultural Heritage Tour. It is the best destination in the world for historians, researchers, and culture and art lovers to learn about Nepal's history, culture, and old arts and architecture. Kathmandu is a bowl-shaped valley with verdant hills in its surroundings, and it is home to three ancient historical cities, each with its specialties, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur. Until the medieval period, Kathmandu Valley was divided into these three independent kingdoms. Later in 1768, Gorkha's King Prithvi Narayan Shah united these three cities and made a single kingdom, which is the present Kathmandu Valley. In the beginning, it was the residents of the Newar community who were the indigenous people. Later, the influx of other people from all parts of the country created a mixed culture. It is the ideal place to experience the rich Newa culture and its rituals, traditions, and food.

Kathmandu Valley is the heart of Nepalese history, culture, and religion. The valley is also home to 7 Unesco Heritage Sites and is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage. The Kathmandu Tour Package, or 3 Nights 4 Days Nepal Tour, takes visitors on a journey through time, from ancient temples and stupas to bustling marketplaces and royal palaces to the traditional courtyards of these three vibrant cities. Below are the major tourist attractions in these cities.

Tourist Places In Kathmandu Valley

Kathmandu

Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal and the hub of the economy, politics, and tourism. It is one of the three ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley. It is an open art gallery filled with numerous artistic temples, stupas, monasteries, and historical monuments. It is the center of cultural assimilation, architectural wonders, and diverse lifestyles. Kathmandu is the gateway to tourism in Nepal. Travelers who want to visit Nepal must first land at TIA (Tribhuwan International Airport) in Nepal. It is the only international airport in Nepal with air connectivity to other countries. Kathmandu was named after Kasthamandap Temple.

The two-story temple structure was built in 1596 from a single tree's wood with no iron nails or supports. Kathmandu is also known as the "city of temples" in the world and is said to have more temples than dwellings. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The Kathmandu Tour is an excellent choice for anyone interested in learning about Nepal's various cultures, arts, and histories. Ancient temples, monasteries, royal palaces (Durbars in Nepali), historical monuments, and other fascinating sites draw travelers from all over the world to Kathmandu.

UNESCO Heritage Sites In Kathmandu

• Kathmandu Durbar Square

• Swayambhunath Stupa

• Boudhanath Stupa

• Pashupatinath Temple

Kathmandu Durbar Square

It is one of the three Durbar (royal palace) squares in Kathmandu Valley, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Durbar Square consists of artistic temples, old palaces, and beautiful courtyards designed in ancient architecture, but it still vividly showcases the skills of Newari artists and craftsmen over several centuries. Kathmandu Durbar Square is also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, a name derived from a statue of Hanuman, the monkey devotee of Lord Ram, at the entrance of the palace. This was the royal Nepalese residence until the 19th century, and now the temples are being preserved as national heritage sites and the palace is being used as a museum.

Kumari Ghar

This is one of the most curious attractions in Nepal. Nepal is the only country in the world where a living virgin girl is worshiped as a god. This gilded cage contains the Raj Kumari (living god), a girl chosen through an ancient and mystical selection process to become the human incarnation of the Hindu mother goddess Durga. She is worshipped during religious festivals and makes public appearances at other times for a fee paid to her guards.

Kasthamandap Temple

The two-story temple structure was built in 1596 from wood from a single tree and uses neither iron nails nor supports. It is said that the name "Kathmandu" was derived from its name. It has its unique architectural arts and crafts in its structure.

Swoyambhunath stupa

It is one of the most ancient sacred Buddhist pilgrimages and a UNESCO cultural heritage site situated on a small hill in the western part of Kathmandu. Swayambunath is also known as the Monkey Temple, as holy monkeys are living in the northwest parts of the temple. The Swayambu complex consists of a stupa and a variety of shrines and temples. The stupa consists of a dome at the base, above which is a cubical structure painted with the eyes of Buddha looking in all four directions. There is a large pair of eyes on each of the four sides of the main stupa, which represent wisdom and compassion. Above each pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye. Between two eyes, a curly symbol symbolizing the nose is depicted, which looks like a question mark and is a figure of the Nepali sign "1." This sign represents the unity of all things existing in the world as well as the only path to enlightenment through the teachings of Buddha. Each morning before dawn, hundreds of Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims ascend the 365 steps from the eastern side that lead up the hill, passing the gilded Vajra, and begin a series of clockwise circumambulations of the stupa.

Pashupatinath Temple

This is one of the most famous sacred Hindu temples in the world and a UNESCO cultural heritage site that is located on the banks of the Bagmati River (the holy river). A Hindu crematorium is located there, where Hindu dead bodies are cremated in the most unique way in the world. This is a holy pilgrimage to see the Hindu holy men, Sadhus, in their typical look of ash-rubbed bodies, matted locks, and the dreaded look. This shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is a must-visit once in a lifetime to get the blessing. Only Hindus are allowed to enter the temple. There are many festivals throughout the year, and thousands of people attend these festivals. The most important festivals are Maha Shivaratri, Bala Chaturthi, and Teej. During these festivals, people from all over the world come to worship.

Boudhanath stupa

This is one of the largest ancient stupas in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet, so it is also called a Tibetan stupa. It has become the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. This is also a popular tourist site and UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, located about 11 km from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu. The stupa is located on the ancient trade route to Tibet. Tibetan merchants rested and offered prayer here for many centuries. After the arrival of thousands of Tibetans following the 1959 Chinese invasion, the temple has become one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. Today, it remains an important place of pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists and local Nepalese. They established many gompas, and the “Little Tibet” of Nepal was born. This “Little Tibet” is still the best place in the valley to observe the Tibetan lifestyle. During the festival of Losar (Tibetan New Year) in February or March, Boudhanath hosts the largest celebration in Nepal.

King Yakshya Malla built this magnificent palace in 1427 A.D. during his regime, and subsequently, King Bhupatindra Malla remodeled it in the seventeenth century. It was the home of royalty until 1769 and is now considered a national gallery. Among the brick walls, with their gracious setting and sculptural design, is a balcony with fifty-five windows, considered a unique masterpiece of woodcarving.

Nyatapola Temple

This is a 5-story pagoda-style temple built in 1702 A.D. and dedicated to the goddess Siddhi Laxmi, the Tantric Laxmi, who bestows auspiciousness. The name Nyatapola is derived from the Newari language, which means "five-story temple." This beautifully sculpted building is considered one of the tallest pagodas in the country and is a lovely example of the immense architectural perfection and artistic beauty of workmanship that went into buildings of this type.

Changu Narayan Temple

Changu Narayan is an ancient Hindu temple located near the village of Changunarayan in the Kathmandu Valley, on top of a hill at the eastern end of the valley. This is one of the oldest Hindu temples in the valley and is believed to have been constructed in the 4th century. It is also a UNESCO heritage site dedicated to Lord Vishnu (the Hindu preserver).
