You will start your day by visiting Pashupatinath, one of the most esteemed Hindu temples. Hindu ethnic people consider visiting the Pashupatinath temple at least once in their lifetime. Pashupatinath is one of the seven world heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley.

After exploring Pashupatinath temple, we will be heading to another world heritage site, Bouddhanath. Bouddhanath stupa is equally popular among Buddhists and Hindus.
