Amidst a lush green natural setting on the banks of the Bagmati River, the temple, built in pagoda style, has a gilted roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors are permitted to view the temple from the east bank of river Bagmati. Entrance into the temple is strictly prohibited to all non Hindus. Pashupatinath is the center of annual pilgrimage on the day of the Shivaratri Festival which happens around February/March. Behind the temple are the cremation grounds. Our next stop is Boudhanath. This Stupa, situated about 8 kilometers from Kathmandu City, is one of the biggest of its kind in the world. Standing with a pair of eyes in each of the four directions, it symbolizes watchfulness. It is said that this Buddhist Stupa was built by King Man Deva at the advice of the goddess Mani Jogini. It rises from an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels. The shrine is surrounded by houses of Lamas or Buddhist priests and amongst many monasteries. The final destination for the day is Bhaktapur Durbar Square. As you walk in, you will feel a sense of inner harmony. Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a collection of pagoda and shikhara style temples, grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The attraction of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square is The Lion gate, The Golden gate, The Palace of fifty-five windows, Art Galleries, and the famous statue of King Bhupatindra Malla.

During your sightseeing, you will visit the following places Phewa Lake, Barahi Temple, Seti River Gorges, Devi's Fall, Gupteswar Cave, a Tibetan refugee camp, and the Gurkha Memorial Museum. Situated at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, Phewa Lake is the second largest lake in the kingdom. With Barahi Island Temple in the middle of the lake it is the most important religious monument in Pokhara. Built almost in the middle of Phewa Lake, this two-storied pagoda is dedicated to the boar manifestation of Ajima, the protector’s deity representing the female force Shakti. The reflection of Mt. Machhapuchhare & Annapurna can be seen in its serene water. Thick forest lies on the adjoining southern slopes of the lake. After taking in the scenery at Phewa Lake, we continue on to the Seti River Gorges. Carved by Seti Gandaki, these gorges are one of the natural wonders of Pokhara. K.I. Singh Bridge at Bagar, Mahendrapool & Prithivi Highway Bridge near bus park, provides a perfect view of the river's dreadful rush and the deep gorge made by the turbulent flow of white water. Next we head to Devi's Fall. Locally known as Patale Chhango in the southern flank of the Pokhara Valley, this is here is where the stream flowing from Fewa Lake collapses and surges down the rock into a deep gorge, leaping through several potholes. Directly across from the falls we will find the entrance to Gupteswar Cave, a sacred cave, 2 kilometers from Pokhara airport. This cave has big hall-size rooms and some passages where you have to crawl on all fours. This sacred place holds special value for Hindus since a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva is preserved here in the condition it was discovered. Just south of Pokhara Valley, we will find the Tibetan refugee camp, otherwise known as Tashiling. This village is inhabitant by the Tibetan people who keeps themselves busy by producing and trading woolen carpets and other handicrafts. Our last stop of the day will be at the Gurkha Memorial Museum, dedicated to the famous Gurkha Warriors who earned their name during many fierce battles fought during the World Wars and numerous operations around the world since 1815.
