Itinerary
Begin your day where it all began—Swayambhunath, one of the oldest and holiest sites in Nepal. Perched high above the valley, this iconic Buddhist stupa offers a panoramic view of Kathmandu bathed in the golden morning light.
Why Visit:

- Walk clockwise around the stupa, spin the prayer wheels, and light a butter lamp. It’s believed to cleanse negative karma and open the heart.
