Drive a short distance from Kathmandu to Boudhanath where you will see one of the largest stupas in Nepal. A small Tibetan settlement has developed around this important religious sight. Many Tibetan Buddhist festivals take place here, and you can visit the Tibetan monastery close by.
From Boudhanath you can drive or walk (one hour) to Pashupatinath, a deeply religious pilgrimage centre for Hindus. This is where important Hindu figures from all over Nepal are cremated publicly. Although a fascinating scene, these should be viewed from a discreet distance.

Bhaktapur & Changu Narayan Temple
Only a short distance from Nepal’s capital, Bhaktapur feels, despite the gradual encroachment of satellite dishes, like little has changed for centuries. Stroll through the town, visit its museums, and see the nearby Changu Narayan Temple.
