You will visit world heritage sites inside Kathmandu Valley the following morning as we have planned for a Full-day Sightseeing tour in Kathmandu City. The sites that have been included in this tour are among the World Heritage UNESCO sites. First, you will ascend to the Swyambhunath Stupa, which is known as the Monkey Temple, and from here, you will be able to view the city. Next, you will change your tour guide to visit the most sacred Temple, known as Pashupatinath Temple, which is also an important pilgrimage Temple for Hindus. You proceed to the Great Boudhanath Stupa, perhaps the largest stupa outside Tibet. Finally, you will go for the Human touch with the Kathmandu Durbar Square tour that will give you a view of ancient architecture and cultural value. After this adventure, you will take a journey overland to Pokhara, where the next part of your amazing tour will take place.
In Pokhara, you are to have a guided tour of the city for a full day, starting with a picturesque morning drive to Sarangkot to view the magnificent sunrise over the Himalayas.

In and around Lumbini, you will be able to visit several holy shrines, the most important of which is the Mayadevi Temple – the place where Prince Siddhartha was born – and the Ashoka Pillar, which was put up by Emperor Ashok to register his visit to this birthplace of Lord Buddha.
Your next stop is Chitwan, where you will be looking forward to doing several interesting things. Here, you will have the opportunity for a jeep tour through the Chitwan National Park, where several varieties of wildlife, including rhinos, tigers, and a rich bird life, prevail.
