Cultural heritage tour offers tour in three UNESCO world heritage cultural sites of Kathmandu which includes tour of Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar square, and Patan Durbar Square in a single day & suitable for all aged people.

Swoyambhunath Stupa sits on a hilltop, on the west side of the Kathmandu valley  Legends say that Swoyambhu was conceived out of a lotus blossom that sprouted amidst a lake that once spread over the Kathmandu valley. The biggest picture of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal sits on a pedestal on the western limit of Swoyambhu. Behind the ridge is a temple committed to Manjushri or Saraswati - the Goddess of learning. Chaityas, statues, and holy places of Buddhist and Hindu divinities fill the stupa complex.

The Kathmandu Durbar Square, also known as Hanuman Dhoka Square, is one of the main attractions in Kathmandu valley. The name Hanuman Dhoka Durbar is originated from the statue of Hanuman set up by the King Pratap Malla at the passage of the regal royal residence in 1672 A.D. There are several temples, shrines, courtyards, and a palace inside the Durbar square that reflects the art and architecture of the medieval time.

Patan is the second largest city in the valley. This ancient city of Patan also Known as Lalitpur or the city of fine arts is about five kilometers southeast of Kathmandu. It is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive architectural ancient masterpieces. Patan Durbar Square is a concentrated mass of temples, the most stunning display of Newari architecture to be seen in Nepal. Here are also many other famous Buddhist temples like Hiranya Verna Maha Vihar (the Golden temple) and Maha Boudha with ten thousand Buddha’s images. Most of the people of Patan city are Buddhists. The best place, however, to see metal sculpture is the Hiranya Varna Mahabihar, the “Golden Temple.”
