First steps in Kathmandu
Steps: Katmandou

Early morning in Kathmandu
Steps: Swayambhunath
In the early morning, when the stores have not yet raised their curtains (around 7:30 a.m.), return to Dubar Square. At the foot of the temples that have made Kathmandu such a dazzling kingdom, you'll witness the unpacking of the market. Soon, the whole city will be awake. Continue your visit towards Swayambhunath (2 km west). At the top of a long series of steps, devotees crowd around the valley's oldest stupa every day.
Places of interest : DURBAR SQUARE

On the way to Pokhara
Steps: Tansen
On the long road to Pokhara, do not hesitate to stop at the village of Tansem, the starting point for beautiful day hikes. A small medieval town full of charm, Tansen is not yet on the classic tourist routes. His visit will not fail to delight you.
Pokhara, Nepal's "Saint-Trop'"
Steps: Annapurna
Located on the edge of a pretty lake, Pokhara is also the paragliding capital. This is too good an opportunity not to try the big jump. If you are afraid of the void, you may prefer rafting, kayaking or mountain biking. It is time to make your last purchases in preparation for a trekking trip. The Annapurna trek is one of the most popular hiking routes (it is easy to do without preparation) and takes sixteen days.
Back to the temples of Kathmandu
Steps: Bodnath
In this country, where Hindus and Buddhists gather at the same temples, there are several sacred sites that are not to be missed. Pashupatinath and Bodnath are among them. Just a twenty-minute walk separates the two sanctuaries, making for a pleasant stroll. Spend the night in one of the monastery inns in Bodnath.
Bhaktapur
Steps: Bhaktapur
Let yourself be captivated by Bhaktapur, the most beautiful of the three ancient medieval kingdoms.
Bhaktapur, the "city of the devotees"
The city unveils its treasures on every street corner and bewitches visitors: peacock windows, imposing stone sculptures, guardians of temple-pagodas..
