Arrive Kathmandu. Meeting and assistance on arrival and transfer to hotel. Later sightseeing of Kathmandu. The Kathmandu Valley has an exotic setting. It is surrounded by a tier of green mountain wall above which tower mighty snow-capped peaks. The history of the Valley, according to the legends,begins with Swayambhu, or the "the self existent". Swayambhu is,perhaps, the best place to observe the religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa is among the most ancient in this part of the world.The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal is in a monastry next to the stupa. |
