Here are temples dating
back to the fifth century and some of the greatest stone,
wood and metal sculpture in the world. Among the places
you visit are: the ancient palace complexes; the better
known temples of the Valley; a sixteen hundred year
old stupas a top of a hill; one of the largest stupas
in the world; Pasupatinath, among the most important
pilgrimages sites of the Hindus; Budhanilkantha, where
the Preserver Vishnu reclines; a temple of the angry
Mother Goddess who demands sacrifice of animals.
The valley treks begin
from Budhanilkantha and ascend to the hill tops of Nagarjun,
Nagarkot and Dhulikhel via a trek down to Changu Narayan
and drive. Both places will offer the panoramic view
stretching from Annapurna in the west to Mt. Everest
in the East. The treks continue via the famous Buddhist
monastery of Namo Buddha then descend to the typical
Newari village of Panauti, where we camp.
The next day we climb
to the highest point of the valley, Phulchowki, which
offers the most fantastic view of the valley with the
backdrop of the Himalayas. After our camp at Godavari,
the botanical garden, we conclude our trek at Pharping
crossing through many typical Newari villages on the
way. Before we drive back to Kathmandu, we visit, Dhakshinkali,
the most feared goddess.
