You arrive at Doha in the early morning to meet your connecting flight to Kathmandu, where you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel to relax. The following morning your adventure begins in earnest as you visit Pashupatinath and a Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupati, the manifestation of Shiva. You’ll be able to peer at the large gold Nandi statue in the temple’s forecourt through the huge entrance doors. You can also watch cremations in Pashupatinath’s famous burning ghats.
Then it’s time to continue on to the nearby Boudhanath Stupa, regarded as the centre of Nepal’s Tibetan community, before heading to Swayambhunath (the “Monkey Temple”) which is the oldest shrine in the world established more than 2,500 years ago.
