Nepal · BOUDHANATH STUPA

Guided Kathmandu tour of Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath, with cremation rites, aarati, and market stops. Hotel pickup optional.
“Great tour - the guide was very well prepared and knew a lot about the place and its history. He was very easy to follow, very knowledgeable. The Aarati ceremony can be a bit hard to watch - very emotional and a bit dark. But a must experience if you’re in Kathmandu.”

“Spent a wonderful day in Kathmandu visiting Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Boudhanath Stupa with Enticing Himalayas. Everything was well-organized, and our guide Prakriti made the experience memorable with his kindness and deep knowledge of the sites. Truly grateful for his care and insights. Highly recommend this tour with Prakriti!”
