Kathmandu has some stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are worth visiting in a day. Today, we begin with Pashupatinath Temple, one of the best-known Hindus temples in the world. This large temple complex is surrounded with temples, monuments, Shiva Lingam, ashrams, forests, and cremation sites on the bank of the Bagmati river.

Another major attraction is Boudhanath Stupa, the largest stupa in Nepal. The famous stupa may not only become the center of Tibetan Buddhism, but also it preserves the religious and cultural identity in its original form.

From there, we get to Kathmandu Durbar Square that represents some of the finest traditional architectural work during the medieval period of Nepal. There are temples and monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries, and even older ones along with museums, royal palace, kumari ghar, statues, and many more.

In the evening, we pay a visit to Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as Monkey temple. This fascinating spot overlooks the Kathmandu valley and offers scenic views from the lofty hilltop. You can circumambulate the stupa and enjoy the peaceful vibe of this place.

Note: Kathmandu to Lukla flight has been rerouted to nearby Manthali Airport, Ramechhap in peak season (March, April, May, October and November) due to congestion in Kathmandu airport. Manthali can be reached within a 5-6 hour drive from Kathmandu.

Leaving the beautiful Phakding, you will start to trek uphill through evergreen forests to reach Benkar village. The route turns to face the village of Chumoa, then passes several bridges before arriving at Monjo. A short walk leads to the gateway of Sagarmatha National Park and continues to descend on a stony trail towards the river.

Then the hike continues along the river for an hour. Passing by suspension bridges over the confluence of two major rivers- Dudh Kosi and Bhote Koshi, the hike continues through the forests. Enjoy your first view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, and Lhotse en route. Another one hour of hiking on the trail brings us to Namche Bazaar, the lively village in Everest region overlooking the mighty snow-capped Himalayan peaks.

Today is set for acclimatization at Namche. We spend this day visiting some of the major attractions of Namche that includes the Sagarmatha National Park Museum and Hotel Everest View. In the museum, you get to know the rich history of Everest region, mountain culture, and traditions of native Sherpa people and their passion for mountaineering.

Next, we pay a visit to Hotel Everest View, one of the highest placed hotels on the earth. Lying at 13,000 ft, this spot offers magnificent views of Everest, Thamserku, Kongde Ri, and many more peaks.
