  Swoyambhunath

  Believed to have been created on its own, this Budhhist stupa is the oldest of all the monuments in Kathmandu valley. Standing atop a small hillock, Swoyambunath, known as monkey temple amongst tourists, provides a fascinating view of the valley, surrounding hills and snow-capped mountain at the distance on a clear day.

  Patan Durbar Square

  One of the three medieval palace squares, Patan Durbar Square holds its medieval art and architectural grandeur. Amazing skill of the artisans is evident in each and every building that stands in the square. The square comprises of medieval palace, temples and museum.

  Pashupatinath

  This site is the most sacred Hindu temple area in the country. But, as the temple is strictly a Hindu only area, non-Hindu tourists go there to watch the unique Hindu cremation rituals on the bank of River Bagmati. The death rites of Hindu family there are so engrossing and heart-touching which make you feel the moment. It's not any kind of intrusion in being there and watching somebody being cremated in an open ground. It's a great cultural experience.

  Boudhanath

  This giant Buddhist stupa is considered as the biggest one in the world. This small square with giant shrine has a powerful presence of the spiritual vibrations. It's an important pilgrimage site for the people following Tibetan Buddhism.

The highway, at most of its stretch, goes along side glacial rivers where we can see rafters enjoying the rapids of water.

  It’s day we trek to Pisang peak base camp for our Pisang peak climbing adventure. Our trek today takes us for over 1,000 meters of elevation gain when we reach the base camp. The trail passes through tiny villages, wooded parts and pastures. We will make it to the base camp a little early in the afternoon so, we will have plenty of time to soak into the atmosphere of base camp. Once we settle into our camp, we can take some strolls around to enjoy the charm of the place and also to acclimatize with the growing elevation.

• Day 08: Trek to Pisang Peak High Camp (5,400m), Overnight in Camp

  It is another day of big elevation gain, of another about 1,000 meters, when we trek up to the high camp.

Once we reach the high camp, we settle into our camp and spend the day praising the views and nature and adjusting with the increasing elevation and decreasing level of oxygen in the air.

• Day 09: Pisang Peak Summit Day (6,091m), back to Base Camp, Overnight in Camp

  As the main day of the trip, we get ready early, much before the day light breaks, for the summit climb. The rocky face of the mountain brings us a tough challenge to climb through where we need to use fixed ropes and main rope to climb. As the struggle up is over and reach the top, we are greeted with spectacular views of the mountains in the vicinity. We enjoy the view and the moments at the top the most before descending all the way back down to base camp.

• Day 14: Trek to Muktinath (3,802m) via Thorang La (5,416m), Overnight in Lodge

About three hours of slow paced struggle towards Thorang La, through several false passes along the trail, eventually takes us to the spectacular pass that stands at 5,416 meters above sea level. We spend some moments there taking pictures and enjoying the view around.

• Day 15: Trek to Jomsom (2,750m), Overnight in Lodge

  We walk on the wonderful landscape of lower Mustang region along the stretch of Muktinath to Jomsom. Initially, the trail descends to Kagbeni village on the bank of Kali Gandaki River through several beautiful places with spectacular view. From Kagbeni onwards, we trek along the Kali Gandaki River to Jomsom. The trail can get windy during the afternoon as it lies in the valley between two gigantic mountain ranges – Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. Once we reach Jomsom, we can laze around the beautiful town.

• Day 16: Fly back to Pokhara, Check in Hotel.

  We take early morning breakfast and go to airport to board the flight to Pokhara. Another short but spectacular flight takes us to Pokhara.
