Meandering Vacations

Filled with cultural heritage and architectural treasures, guided sightseeing in Kathmandu includes the ancient hill-top religious compound of Swayambhunath where Buddha’s eyes look out over the city from the stupa, and Bodhnath stupa, the largest spherical stupa in Nepal.Talking about landmarks, Durbar square is quite an attention-grabbing place to be, with tons of local life and lots of activity going on in the square. It consists of 43 Temples in One Square. You can get pass for many days from the same entry ticket because it is impractical to visit each and every temple in The Campus in one Day. The square has astounding architecture of Nepalese culture and one gets to see the diety Lord Hanuman and Lord Narsimha and temple of Lord Shiva. There are artifacts and handicrafts for sale. It is a must visit place in Kathmandu. Babar Mahal belongs to those places where foreign residents find the illusion of living in a world apart, still colonial, surrounded by a kind of luxury. In the shops it’s possible to buy, nicely served, handicrafts and clothes that one can find everywhere in Nepal, but paying it much more.
