Itinerary

We stick the schedule but sometimes we have to adapt to weather changes or unforeseen situations.

Day 1

Transfer from the airport to the hotel. After the accommodation we will have a technical meeting.

Day 2

We will visit some of the sights in Kathmandu. Stupa Boudhanath impresses by its size, being one of the largest buildings of it’s kind in the world. Since 1979 it has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The historic town of Patan is known for its impressive cultural heritage. It is worth mentioning also the Patan Durbar market, included by UNESCO on the list of the seven "monument areas" forming the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Area. Thanks to the rock, metal and other sculptures on the outside of the buildings, the city resembles an outdoor museum. Buddhist Temple Swayambu is part of a complex of stupa, a variety of altars and temples. Adding them more recently we find a Tibetan monastery, a museum and a library. Swayambu is also known as the Temple of the Monkeys.
