Cultural Heritage Walking Tour

Cultural heritage tour starts from Swoyambhunath Stupa. 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.
