This morning you will be taken for a visit of the Hindu culture in Nepal, Pashupatinath. This is the place where holy Saddhus pray and cremations on the Bagmati River are carried out. We then continue to the holiest shrine of the Buddhist culture in Nepal, Bouddhanath, with its large stupa, this is the place where all devout Buddhists come for a pilgrimage. After completion of these two spots, we proceed to to Patan, also known as Lalitpur. The city of Patan is separated from Kathmandu only by the Bagmati River and is the second largest town in the valley. Lalitpur is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive ancient architectural masterpieces. Patan's central Durbar Square is absolutely packed with temples. Also visit the Tibetan refugee center, home to most of the valley's Tibetan population. While technically refugees, the Tibetans are some of the wealthiest people in the valley because of the carpet industry they operate. For those looking to bring home a fine Tibetan carpet, this is the place to shop. You will then go to Swayambhunath the golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhu stupa is adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags; it crowns a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley and offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu.
