Detailed Itinerary
- Day 01
Arrive Kathmandu (1400m), Transfer to Hotel
Flying to Kathmandu along the northern border of Nepal on a clear day is itself an exciting and memorable experience as exotic panoramic view of snow-capped Himalaya’s sprawls before you.

- Day 02
Sightseeing in Kathmandu (Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swoyambhu and Kathmandu Durbar Square / PM - Dinner at Garden of Dreams
Kathmandu, the historical and cultural heart of Nepal, has been a popular destination for tourists ever since Nepal opened its doors to visitors. The city presents a wonderful mix of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and western influence. There will be a half day guided tour to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the holy Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, Boudhanath - the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal, the 'monkey temple' of Swayambhunath and the medieval palace of the Malla Kings at Kathmandu Durbar Square. After the sightseeing tour, you will be escorted to the 'Garden of Dreams' or 'Swapna Bagicha'. Amidst the chaos of Kathmandu, the Garden of Dreams (located just two minutes walk from Thamel Chowk), opens up into a haven of peace and tranquility. A dream project of Field Marshal Kaiser SJB Rana, the neo-classical garden was built in the 1920s. Kaiser Shamsher erected six impressive freestanding pavilions, each dedicated to one of the six seasons of Nepal. These pavilions provide the Garden's architectural framework and complement the arrangements of flowers, shrubs, and trees. Unfortunately, of the original four acres and six pavilions (named after the six Nepali seasons), only 1.2 acres and three pavilions remain. The garden is built along the lines of an Edwardian Garden - paved perimeter paths, interposed by pavilions, trellises, and various planting areas, surround a sunken flower garden with a large pond at its center. It has an exquisite ensemble of fountains, pergolas, balustrades, urns, and statues. After exploring the Garden we sit out to enjoy dinner at the Kaiser Restaurant located at the corner of Basanta (spring) Pavilion. .
