Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal and is filled with many ancient cultural heritages. So, under the Kathmandu full day sightseeing, you will be able to explore many temples and stupas enriched with much cultural and religious importance.
In the full day sightseeing, you will visit the residence of the ancient Kings of Nepal, Kathmandu Durbar square which is also included in world’s heritage list, Telaju temple and Jaggannath temple filled wooden crafts and native architecture.
The main highlight of Kathmandu Full Day Sightseeing will be Kathmandu Durbar square situated in Basantapur, Hanumandhoka. The square is full of historical monuments. The stone statue of Hanuman (Hindu deity) and the Golden Gate of the palace are the main attraction there.
Apart from that, The 3- roof Taleju Temple is yet another attraction. The temple is opened only once in a year (during Nepalese biggest festival, Dashain).

The history you will find here is very old and it dated back to almost 12th century. The Lord Krishna Temple you will see there was built in 1649 AD by King Pratap Malla in memory of his queen Other highlights of the place include the huge statue of Kalbhairab (Hindu deity who is the furious form of Lord Shiva) and Kasthamandap which was built in 12th century with the wood of a single tree.
