    Today after breakfast, explore a typical Tamang village, Dada Gaun, where a Buddhist Community lives. It is very traditional and secluded from the modern world. Here people and animals live together side by side. We then walk to Pada Gaun (2100m), from where one can have tremendously excellent views of the whole Himalayan range to north horizon and beautiful green forest of Mahabharat.  After walk back to the resort have a lunch and then drive to Bhaktapur (1,401 m) which was once the capital of the entire valley. This Durbar (palace) Square is rich in traditional art, architecture and historical monuments.

    Today after breakfast, we visit SWAYAMBUNATH Stupa, the Kathmandu’s oldest and the most important shrine.  The monuments mark the birth place of the Kathmandu Valley which later developed into the country of Nepal. The stupa represents Buddha’s mind. To visit a stupa is said to be the same as meeting a Buddha in person. It offers peace, freedom and joy to the whole world and ultimately helps us to obtain perfect enlightenment

    Later we walk through typical local traditional Ason market to Thamel.  This is a central market square in the medieval quarter of Kathmandu Valley.  It is one of the oldest, busiest markets swarming with buyers and sellers.  Whereas Thamel is a center for tourist, it is distinguished by its narrow alleys crowded with various shops, restaurants, pubs, trekking gear shops and vendors. Also one can opt for lunch in GARDEN OF DREAMS, a neo classical historical garden situated in the midst of Kathmandu city, Nepal. The Garden was famous as the garden of Six Seasons which was created by late Field Marshal Kaiser Sumsher Rana (1892-1964) in early 1920.

    Then later we head to the most holy Hindu temple of Nepal, PASHUPATINATH. This is a two tiered golden roof and silver door temple dedicated to a manifestation of Shiva called Pashupati (Lord of Animals). The exact date of foundation of the shrine is not known but the first historical records date from the 13th century. The site has sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati river. In the evening we can see the performing of the Arati. The Arati is an expression of one’s complete and unflinching love towards God. It is sung and performed with a deep sense of reverence, adoration, and meditative awareness. Overnight at the Hotel
