Kathmandu’s three stops move between two faiths that have shared this valley for centuries. You’ll begin at the hilltop stupa that watches over the whole city, move on to the largest stupa in the valley, and end the day at a hillside monastery where meditation is taught daily, not performed for visitors.
Highlights
- Swayambhunath, the ancient stupa important to both Buddhists and Hindus, with sweeping valley views.
- Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in the world and a living center of Tibetan Buddhism.
- Kopan Monastery, a hillside monastery where resident monks welcome visitors into the same space they use for study and practice.
