Day 02: Pashupatinath and Baudhanath
Pashupatinath is one of the four most important religious
sites in Asia for Shiva devotees. Pashupatinath, dedicated
to Shiva the Destroyer, is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage
destination in Nepal. Although the Pashupatinath Temple
was only built in the fifth century and later renovated by
Malla kings, the holy site is said to have existed from
the beginning of the millennium.
Baudhanath
Bouddhanath is the center of Tibetan culture in Nepal. The
36-meter-high stupa of Bouddhanath is one of the largest
stupas in South Asia. Bouddhanath Stupa was renovated by
Licchavi rulers in the eighth century. The mandala design
in Bouddhanath is a copy of the one in Gyangtse in Tibet.
The stupa is located in the area of ancient trade route to
Tibet where Tibetan merchants rested and offered prayers
for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet
in the 1950s, many decided to live around Bouddhanath.
Hence, a complete township has developed around
Bouddhanath.
Day 03: Bhaktapur and Patan
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is located in the center of
Bhaktapur. The Square is one of the most charming
architectural showpieces of the Valley as it highlights
some of the finest medieval arts of Nepal. The main items
of interest in Bhaktapur Durbar Square are the Lion Gate,
the Golden Gate and the statues of kings on stone
monoliths. The Golden Gate was erected by King Ranjit
Malla as the entrance to the main courtyard of the
Fifty-five Windowed Palace.
