Nepal Tour - Nov-2023 Day-9: Kathmandu: Lalitpur – Patan Durbar, Bhaktpur Last day of sightseeing of this tour. It is said that Kathmandu of today was four different states in ancient times: Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktpur and Kirtipur. Our tour did not include Kirtipur as the old city is not well preserved. All four have almost merged with Kathmandu (although they are administratively separate). Kathmandu has seven World Heritage sites: 1. Kathmandu Durbar Square 2. Patan Durbar Square 3. Bhaktapur Durbar Square 4. Pashupatinath 5. Changunarayan 6. Swayambhunath 7. Boudhanath First four were included in our itinerary. Patan Durbar Square (La... read more

Nepal Tour - Nov-2023 Day-8: Kathmandu: Chandragiri Hills and Pashupatinath Temple Kathmandu is situated in Kathmandu Valley surrounded on all sides by hills. It is like a bowl, and according to one theory, once up on a time, it was a lake. Kathmandu is said to be the oldest, longest inhabited place on earth, continuously populated for last 2000 years. It has an enormous treasure of Hindu and Buddhist cultural and archaeological heritage. Many of these are in damaged condition as this area is highly earthquake-prone, but still, many are in very good condition and many more are wonderfully restored to their old glory, soon after the 2015 earthquake. As per our guide, some of the Buddhist monuments have been omitted from this tour to accommodate for some other sites. We had – - Chandragiri hills ... read more

Nepal Tour - Nov-2023 Day-7: Manakamana on way to Kathmandu Day-7: Manakamana – Kathmandu We had three days and three nights in Kathmandu. From Pokhara, Kathmandu is 200 Km, but due to bad road conditions, it takes 8-9 hrs. All along the road, work is going on (for many years – as per the guide), and that reduces the speed further. 94 Km from Pokhara and 104 Km from Kathmandu is a temple called Manakamana. Although our guides were less enthusiastic, everybody wanted to go for darshan and hence, once again- Wake-up call at 5.00, tea at 5.45, check-out and start at 6.00 with packed breakfast. (Again, inedible samosa, fruits and a tetrapack of drink). Almost managed the schedule. 94 Km to Mankamana took 4½ hrs. The temple dedicated to devi Durga, is... read more
