Some of the sights worth seeing are Kal Bhairav, Hanuman Dhoka, Taleju Temple, Kasthamandap and Kumari Ghar, the last of which is home to the living goddess Kumari. Afterwards, visit Swayambhunath, the famous stupa perched on top of a hill in the west of the city that is said to be one of the oldest Buddhist stupas in the world.

Proceed to the Pashupatinath Temple, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. This massive temple complex sits on the banks of the Bagmati River. Only Hindus are allowed to enter into the temple premises, whereas tourists can see the temple from the eastern side of the Bagmati River.

Leave Lumbini after breakfast and head for Chitwan National Park, a famous nature reserve in Nepal known for its one-horned rhinos, royal Bengal tigers, leopards and wild elephants. In addition to this, 450 species of birds have been sighted in the national park.

You have a variety of activities to choose from during your stay in Chitwan National Park. You can either go for a jungle safari trip in an off-road vehicle and travel deep inside the lush jungles of the national park or go on a walking tour. You might even want to choose an altogether relaxing way of discovering the national park during a canoeing trip in Rapti or Narayani rivers.

The national park is surrounded by villages of ethnic Tharu people. Perhaps you want to see the villages, meet the people and learn more about their culture.

Time to return to Kathmandu. Drive back to the capital and prepare for your departure. We will drive you to the airport for your flight home.
