Kathmandu Valley
Kathmandu Valley comprises the three
ancient cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, which were once independent
states ruled by the Malla kings from the 12th to the 18th
centuries. The three cities house seven UNESCO World Heritage shrines which are
together listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Culture). The valley is also
home to hundreds of other exquisite monuments, sculptures, artistic temples and
magnificent art – reminders of the golden era in Nepal’s architecture
Retaining its ancient traditions,
Kathmandu is blessed by a Living Goddess and is enriched by endless ceremonial
processions and events that take to the streets every now and then with throngs
of devotees seeking blessings. These religious festivals are steeped in legend
and are quite a spectacle with chariot processions and masked dancers often
possessed by the spirits of deoties.
SWAYAMBHUNATH STUPA
Resting
on a hillock 3 km west of Kathmandu, it is one of the holiest Buddhist Chaityas
in Nepal. It is said to have evolved spontaneously when the valley was created
out of a primordial lake more than 2,000 years ago. This stupa is the oldest of
its kind in Nepal and has numerous stupas and monasteries on its premises.
BUDHANILKANTHA:
The largest of Vishnu’s stone
statues, Budhanikantha lies at the foothills of the Shivapuri hills, 8 km north
of the Kathmandu city center. The large granite figure of Lord Vishnu,
reclining on a bed of serpents known as ‘Nagas’, seems to float in a pond. This
shrine dates back to the 5th century
PASHUPATINATH TEMPLE
Situated 5 km east of Kathmandu, the temple of
Lord Shiva is considered one of the most sacred Hindu shrines in the world. The
two-tiered pagoda with golden roofs and silver doors houses the sacred linga,
or phallic symbol, of Lord Shiva. Chronicles indicate the temple existed before
400 A.D. Near the Pashupatinath Temple on the banks of the Bagmati River lies
Guheswari, where, according to mythology, a portion of Sati Devi, Lord Shiva’s
consort, fell when a grief-stricken Shiva wandered aimlessly across the earth
carrying her dead body on his shoulders following her self-immolation.
Pokhara Mountain Views
Pokhara is blessed with stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna range which forms its backdrop. The mesmerizing Machhapuchhre also called Mt. Fishtail dominates the scenery because of its proximity to the valley and can be seen from anywhere in Pokhara. Stretching from east to west, the Annapurna massif includes Annapurna 1 to IV and Annapurna South. Further away are seen the giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Manaslu (8,163m)

Phewa Lake:
Pokhara owes its popularity to the enchanting Phewa Lake, and along its eastern shore has grown the Lakeside or Baidam, a thriving resort town of hotels, restaurants, bars and souvenir shops that allow travelers to relax and enjoy. Phewa Lake is the largest and most beautiful of the three lakes, attracting a large number of visitors who enjoy boating on its placid waters. Boats can be hired, and many visit the island temple of Barahi in the middle of the lake
