As soon as the first light of dawn hits the old streets of Kathmandu, you start a trip that goes beyond time. Over the sounds of ages past, you start your day with a leisurely breakfast where the smell of freshly brewed coffee mixes with the excitement of what the day will bring.
With the help of knowledgeable locals, your journey through the cultural gems of Kathmandu Valley unfolds like the pages of a live history book. Durbar Square is the first place you should visit. It’s a busy plaza where old palaces and churches show off Nepal’s rich history. With its elaborate carvings and tall pagodas, this place takes you back to a time when kings ruled and master craftsmen made works of art out of stone and wood.
From Durbar Square, you can walk to Swayambhunath Stupa, which is a holy place on top of a hill with a view of the valley below. As you walk up the old stone steps that are decorated with bright prayer flags that sway in the wind, you feel calm and peaceful. At the top of the stupa, Buddha’s all-seeing eyes look out over the city, comforting the tired and guiding the lost.
As you continue your trip, you reach Pashupatinath Temple, which is a holy place for Hindus to visit and is situated on the banks of the Bagmati River. With the swirling incense and the steady chanting of the priests, you can see the never-ending circle of life and death. This is where the lines between the real world and the spiritual world become less clear.
As the sun goes down and the shadows get longer, you come to the base of the Boudhanath stupa, a huge sign of peace and wisdom. Because there are numerous prayer flags all around the stupa and beautiful paintings on it, the area is serene. You can pray and think here, with the sound of chanting monks and the soft rustling of prayer flags. This is a practice that has been going on for a very long time.
You get back to your hotel as night falls and the city lights start to shine. Your heart is full of wonder, and your mind is full of memories of a day spent in the embrace of history. As you drift off to sleep, the sound of temple bells and prayer flags flapping in the wind lulls you to sleep. You know that your trip through the Kathmandu Valley has changed you forever.
