The guide will explain the rich history, spiritual significance, and unique architecture of the stupa and surrounding shrines. You’ll have time to walk around the site, take photos, observe rituals, and experience the calm yet vibrant charm that makes Swayambhunath a must visit landmark on this tour.

After visiting Swayambhunath, continue your journey to Chandragiri Hills, located southwest of Kathmandu Valley at 2,551 meters above sea level.
