A Flight Centre Kathmandu Holiday will transport you to an awe-inspiring world at the foothills of the majestic Mount Everest. Visitors to Nepal seeking out the Himalayas transit through the capital of Kathmandu and discover a treasure trove of historical and culturally significant sites. A deeply spiritual place, Kathmandu’s enchanting temples are well worth a visit. The Boundhanath stupa is one of the biggest stupas (place of Buddhism meditation) in southeast Asia, and is the epicentre of Tibetan Buddhism outside of Tibet. Swayambhu Maha Chaitya is also a must-see, and as an added treat you will see monkeys hanging about the Buddhist shrines surrounding the stupa. Pashupatinath Temple is a Hindu temple and is a great place to start when learning about the Nepalese Hindu culture. While you’re at it, hit the Hanumandhoka Palace Museum to see the royal palace and visit the museum that it now houses. Seek refuge in the Garden of Dreams and soak in the magic of Nepal.
