NEPAL GOLF PACKAGE 7 NIGHTS 8 DAYS

Day 1.   Arrival in Kathmandu. Transfer to Yak & Yeti /Radission Hotel / Soltee Crown Plaza. After Lunch, half day sightseeing of Kathmandu Valley.

Swayambunath: The Buddhist temple of Swayambunath, situated on the top of a hill west of the city, is one of the most popular and instantly recognizable symbols of Nepal. The temple is colloquially known as the 'monkey temple' after the large tribe of monkeys that guard the hill and amuse visitors and devotees with their tricks and antics. Geologists believe that the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake and legends relate that the hill on which Swaymabhunath stands was an island. It is said that emperor Ashoka paid a visit to the site over 2000 years ago. An inscription indicates that King Manadeva ordered work done on the site in 460 CE and by the 1200s it was an important Buddhist center. In 1346 Mughal invaders from Bengal broke open the stupa to search for gold. Under the Mallas various improvements were made and King Pratap Malla constructed the great stairway to the stupa in the 17th century.

Kathmandu Durbar Square: Durbar in Nepali 'palace' and in Patan and Bhaktapur, as well as Kathmandu, there are Durbar Squares in front of the old palaces. The king no longer lives in the old Royal Palace in Kathmandu: the palace was moved north to Narayanhiti about a century ago. At that time it was on the edge of the city, now it's close to the popular tourist area of Thamel. Clustered around the central Durbar Square and the old Royal Palace (Hanuman Dhoka), there are numerous interesting temples, the Kumari Chowk or Kumari Bahal (House of the Living Goddess) and the Kasthamandap (House of Wood). It's easy to spend hours wandering around Durbar Square and the adjoining Basantapur Square. This is very much the center of old Kathmandu and watching they world go by from the terraced platforms of the towering Maju Deval is a wonderful way to get a feel for the city. Although many of the buildings around the square are very old, the great earthquake of 1934 caused a great deal of damage and many were rebuilt, not always in their original form.

Day 2.   After breakfast, Half day sightseeing.

Pashupatinath: The most important Hindu temple in Nepal. It's one of the most
important Shiva temples on the subcontinent and draws numerous devotees from all over
Nepal and India, including many colorful sadhus- wandering ascetic Hindu holy men.
Shiva is the destroyer and creator of the Hindu pantheon and appears in many forms.

Boudhanath: This ancient colossal Stupa is one of the biggest in the world. The base of
the stupa takes the shape of a mandala (symbolizing earth): on this four tiered base sits
the dome (symbolizing water): then comes the spire (symbolizing fire): the umbrella
(symbolizing air); and the pinnacle (symbolizing ether). The spire is made up of 13 steps,
representing the 13 stages on the journey to nirvana.

If Kathmandu is the cultural hub of Nepal, Pokhara is its center of adventure. An enchanting city nestled in a tranquil valley, it is the starting point for many of Nepal's most popular trekking and rafting destinations.

Pokhara is a place of remarkable natural beauty. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the fish-tailed summit of Machhapuchhre (6,977 m) rising behind it create an ambience of peace and magic. At an elevation lower than Kathmandu, it has a much more tropical feel to it, a fact well appreciated by the beautiful diversity of flowers which prosper in its environs. Indeed, the valley surrounding Pokhara is home to thick forests, gushing rivers, emerald lakes, and of course, the world famous views of the Himalaya. P

Pokhara is part of a once vibrant trade route extending between India and Tibet. To this day, mule trains can be seen camped on the out-skirts of the town, bringing goods to trade from remote regions of the Himalaya. This is the land of the Magars and Gurungs, hardworking farmers and valorous warriors who have earned worldwide fame as Gurkha soldiers. The Thakalis, another important ethnic group here, are known for their entrepreneurship.
