After breakfast, we'll take you on a historical and heritage tour of Kathmandu valley. You will spend your full-day sightseeing in Kathmandu, visiting the wonderful heritage sites that include: Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world that lies in the heart of a magnificent square. This massive Buddhist shrine is particularly important for Tibetan Buddhist people. It is believed that the stupa was built in the 4th/5th century and has some fascinating stories behind it. A stupa is a Buddhist relic monument that serves as a sacred shrine. However, stupas are not limited to relic stupas. A stupa represents a person's journey from the tangible to the spiritual realm. Pashupatinath Temple is a Hindu temple where visitors may witness unique cremation customs for Hindus who have died. The temple, which is regarded as Nepal's most prominent Shiva temple, is solely available to Hindus, therefore non-Hindus remain outside the temple grounds and observe Hindu funeral procedures and customs. On the temple premise, we may come across some Sadhus who have yellow paintings on their bodies. The place is a rich spiritual and cultural resource for learning about Nepali culture and customs. Swyambhunath Stupa is a historic religious and cultural complex built atop a hill in Kathmandu Valley's western outskirts. It is an old holy monument with Chaityas, temples, painted deity representations, and religious sites. Since there are large tribes of monkeys, it is also known as the Monkey Temple. Each of the four sides of the Stupa has a large pair of eyes that symbolize knowledge and compassion. The term Swyambhu is derived from Swyambhu Purana which means "self-created" or "self-existent". It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site.
After having breakfast at the hotel, we drive for about one and half hours to reach Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is listed in UNESCO's world heritage site, which is the most beautiful and richly carved. While we are in the square we will visit the Lion Gate, the Picture Gallery, the Golden Gate, and the palace of 55 windows. Similarly, we will also visit 108 feet tall Nyatapola Temple. We can also explore rich Newari culture, history, tradition, fiesta, and festivals in the Bhaktapur. After sightseeing in Bhaktapur, we will drive towards Nagarkot (2100 m). Overnight in a hotel.

Along with the beautiful sunrise, panoramic views of majestic Himalayan ranges such as Annapurna, Manaslu, Jugal, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, etc. can also be seen.
