We begin our guided sightseeing tour with a visit to Pashupatinath Temple. This temple is dedicated to Hindu deity Shiva, regarded as the most sacred Hindu shrine in Nepal. Hereabouts, visitors will get to see cremation rituals of Hindus at ‘Aryaghat’, the cremation area of the temple. Cremations here are done for Nepal’s royalty and the common man on the streets. Non Hindus are not allowed to enter the main premises of the temple but you can sure get tantalizing glimpses of what’s happening within the main areas from the perimeter walls surrounding the temple.   Our next stop is Bhaktapur. Spread over an area of 6.88 sq km, 12 km south-east of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur or Bhadgaon showcases the ancient grandiose of the Golden Age of Nepali art and architecture. Built by King Anand Dev Malla in the 9th century, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. It has remained a model for heritage conservation since then. At the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, you will find many fine examples of sculpture, woodcarving and pagodas dedicated to different gods and goddesses – the Nyatapol & Dattatreya Temples, the Golden Gate, Palace of 55 windows that also has marks of bullet penetrations that tells a tragic tale this once-upon-a-time independent kingdom. Another attraction are the erotic statues of the gods in the act of the ancient art of sex that we all know of as the ‘Kamasutra’’. At dusk, we drive down to our hotel in Bhaktapur for the night.

After breakfast, we transfer to Kathmandu and free at your own leisure till lunch. After lunch we drive down to to the heritage sites of Kathmandu Durbar Square (the house of living goddess KUMARI and the medieval royal palace of the Malla kings – 15TH century AD). To see upfront the home of the living goddess. We even get to see her at her ‘window’ where she shows herself, but no pictures are allowed to be taken of the girl. But we can take pictures of the spectacular courtyard of the 3 storey house and the chariot that carries her around during major festivals. Our next destination is Swayambhunath or Monkey Temple. "Swayambhu" signifies "self-created" and a myth goes that the hill emerged spontaneously from the great lake that once covered Kathmandu Valley. This is one of the oldest Buddhist shrines in Asia; one highlight of this temple is the great views we get of the valley at dusk where from this quiet hillock its 360 degree view of the sparkling lights of the valley, its lovely to watch. The Swayambhunath stupa can be said to be one of the unique jewels on the crown of Kathmandu Valley’s architecture. This excellently designed monument leaves one wondering about its celestial perfection with its glimmering, gilded spire and snow-white dome. We pull down the curtains on our luxury tour with a visit to the ‘Garden of Dreams’ in Thamel area for dinner to reminisce on the wonders of this sublime tour of Nepal’s living history. While savoring our sumptuous dinner, our eyes take in the classical art forms in this historical garden -- a place of ponds and lily pads, bright well trimmed green lawns and whispering palm trees, and something most welcome, quiet; amidst the sweet gentle chirping of birds that set our moods for the journey home.
