Despre activitate

The private walking tour is NOT sold out, you can book for 1 person and can come with more people.

The small group tour has max 5 people and is especially fit for (solo) travelers seeking a deeper understanding of Nepal’s past and its cultural richness. This tour leaves you with a lasting impression of the city’s grandeur and charm.

Embark on a journey through the cultural and historical heart of Kathmandu as we explore the iconic Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Our tour begins in Thamel, where we set off towards this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the way, we’ll stop at the revered Naradevi Temple, known for its spiritual significance and visit Washa Deu, the toothache deity, steeped in fascinating local beliefs.

During the visit, we’ll witness the incredible Newar culture that flourishes in the square and take a moment to receive blessings from the Living Goddess Kumari, who graces us from her sacred window.

Itinerar

  1. Oprirea 1

    45 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Wasya Dyaa, or the Toothache Tree, is a wooden idol located near Thahiti Tole in Kathmandu, believed to cure toothaches. Traditionally, it is thought that hammering a coin into the tree’s wood can alleviate dental pain. This practice stems from ancient beliefs and continues today, despite modern dental care. The tree is associated with the legendary Bangemudha, and many visitors still come to pray before seeing a dentist.

    Around the temple, a dental hub has developed, with more than 20 clinics, some dating back to the Rana period. This spot blends Nepalese mythology and modern healthcare, and visiting Wasya Dyaa is a unique experience for anyone interested in local culture and tradition, especially those with toothaches.

  2. Seto Machindranath Temple

    45 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Southwest of Asan Tole, at the junction of Kel Tole, Seto Machhindranath Temple attracts both Buddhists and Hindus. Buddhists view him as Avalokiteshvara, while Hindus worship him as a rain-bringer incarnation of Shiva.

    In the courtyard, you'll find small shrines, chaityas (small stupas), and statues, including a European-looking female figure surrounded by candles. Just outside the temple, two graceful bronze statues of Tara are seated atop pillars.

    Inside, the white-faced image of Seto Machhindranath is covered in flowers. Though the temple's exact age is unknown, it was restored in the 17th century.

    As you exit, you'll see the small Tantric Lunchun Lunbun Ajima temple, known for its erotic carvings. Nearby, shops offer traditional Nepali clothing, including topi (hats) and daura suruwal (traditional dress), with miniature versions for children.

  3. Kathmandu Durbar Square

    45 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The Kumari, also known as the Living Goddess, is a sacred symbol of power and purity in Kathmandu. The Kumari resides in the Kumari Ghar (Kumari Temple) at Kathmandu Durbar Square, and her presence is considered an essential part of the spiritual and cultural fabric of the city.

  4. Hanuman Dhoka

    45 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Hanuman Dhoka Palace, located in the heart of Kathmandu Durbar Square, is a historical palace complex that was the royal seat of the Malla kings and later the Shah dynasty. Its name comes from the nearby statue of the monkey god Hanuman, which is believed to protect the royal family.

    The palace complex, which dates back to the 16th century, consists of several buildings, courtyards, temples, and shrines. The most notable structure is the main palace building, which was used by the kings and their court for centuries. The architecture of Hanuman Dhoka Palace is a stunning example of traditional Nepalese Malla-period architecture, with intricately carved wooden windows, massive stone pillars, and elaborate courtyards.
