Places to visit in Nepal Cultural Tours

Swayambhunath Stupa

Swayabhunath Stupa which is also knows ad ‘Monkey Temple is another site to go to. It has scenic view that features a panoramic view of Kathmandu. This place showcases the great Buddhist heritage and, therefore, a pilgrimage site that locals and visitors greatly cover. The white dome and golden spire atop, as it is on the hill overlooking the city, crowns it all, and its eyes totally dominate the valley, a symbol of insight into wickedness and virtue. Every round taken around the stupa brings this whirring of prayer wheels and a glimpse of devotees lighting butter lamps and offering prayers all around you. It gives an awesome view of Kathmandu from upwards; hence, it is one of the major attractions on your cultural tours in Nepal.

Pashupatinath Temple

Every Maha Shivratri witnesses different religious activities that are performed in Pashupatinath Temple. Thousands of devotees come underneath to offer their prayers to Lord Shiva. In the pagoda-shaped roofs of the temple and the richly carved wooden beams, the unmatched artistic genius of the Nepalese craftsmen is enclosed together. While Hindus enter the inner sanctum, visitors can walk along the outside, observing daily rituals and goings on along the ghats – the steps leading down to the river.

Bhaktapur: A Living Museum

Another UNESCO-adopted World Heritage Monument is Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The medieval architectural setting and traditions of this age-old city have been rhetorically called a “living museum” by UNESCO.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

The greatness of the Malla dynasty speaks for itself through the collection of statues, temples, and fountains Durbar Square possesses. Stands tall and proud the 55-Window Palace, pieces of architecture in wood carvings and working out the details from Newar architecture, and equally iconic is the Nyatapola Temple five-story pagoda-rise. Equally, the square houses the pottery square, where one gets to see the local potters at work molding the clay into brightly colored pots, vases, and other items using their traditional technique.

Local Festivals and Traditions

Bhaktapur happens to be highly famous for its brighter festivals, which come off as joyful. The people participate in them with tremendous excitement. It is the month of April that falls continuously in the spectacular festivals of this country. Thus, it marks the Nepali New Year. People can be found in a jolly mood during this festival; huge masses mobilize major chariots carrying the images of deities along the street with traditional music and dance performances. The other highlight, Gai Jatra or Cow Festival, is uniquely different.

Maya Devi Temple

The Maya Devi Temple is set amidst the sacred garden in Lumbini, which, up to this time, marked the very birthplace of Buddha. It also houses one holy pond and the Ashoka Pillar, which Indian Emperor Ashoka constructed in the 3rd century BC to mark his visit to Lumbini. Atmospheres that are quiet and serene face Lumbini as a perfect place for meditation and introspection.

This temple stands amongst the ruins of many ancient walls and is a symbol of peace and enlightenment. This holy place also contains a sacred pond, the Ashoka Pillar—erected by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC—and a Bodhi tree, inviting pilgrims from all over the world to meditate, look back, and pay tribute to the legacy of the Buddha in an atmosphere of deep tranquility.

Monastic Zone

The Lumbini Monastic Zone is unique in this world due to the fact that Buddhist countries from all over the world have commissioned monasteries and stupas, reflecting the architectural style and cultural heritage respective to each of them.

There are two divisions in the zone: one, the East Monastic Zone for Theravada monasteries, and two, the West Monastic Zone for the monasteries of Mahayana and Vajrayana. A walk in the monastic zone is almost a journey through most of the manifestations of the Buddha’s teaching insights into the many traditions and practices that have evolved over so many centuries.
