Arrive
Kathmandu, meeting and assistance on arrival
and transfer to hotel. Later on sightseeing
of Shwoyambhu & Kathmandu. The Kathmandu
Valley has an exotic setting. It is surrounded
by a tier of green mountain wall above,
which tower mighty snow-capped peaks.
The history of the Valley, according to
the legends, begins with Shwoyambhu, or
the "the self existent". Shwoyambhu
is, perhaps, the best place to observe
the religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa
is among the most ancient in this part
of the world. The largest image of the
Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal is in a monastery
next to the stupa. |
