We then continue to the holiest shrine for the Buddhist culture in Nepal, Bouddhanath, with its large stupa, this is the place where all devout Buddhists come for a pilgrimage. After completion of these two spots, you will then proceed to visit Patan – also known as Lalitpu this city of beauty is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive architectural ancient masterpieces. Patan's central Durbar Square is absolutely packed with temples: It’s an architectural center point with a far greater concentration of temples. Within the city also lies the Tibetan refugee center, home to most of the valley's Tibetan population.  It is also the best place to look out for a fine Tibetan carpet. You will then go to Swayambhunath the golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhu stupa adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags overlooking the Kathmandu Valley offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu. Swayambhunath is one of the most recognizable symbols in Nepal and the painted eyes of Buddha watch all who ascend the worn stone steps.
