Early wake up call to begin the day with a visit to the sacred Monastery gives us an opportunity to witness the morning puja (ritual) in the monastery, with constant beating of drums, blowing of conch shell and long traditional horns is quite an experience.  As we approach the monastery, the tranquil atmosphere soaks us in and all the stairs you climb will be rewarded by a fantastic view of surrounding hills and mountains. After exploring the monastery and soaking in its tranquil atmosphere, we drive to ancient of Bhatapur before concluding our journey with a drive back to Kathmandu. Bhaktapur is one of the three ancient cities within the Kathmandu Valley. It is also known as Bhadgaun, meaning the city of devotees and is the home of true medieval art and architecture in the Valley. Bhaktapur is the center of traditional Nepalese wood carving and is without a doubt the most historically authentic.  Self-explore this beautiful city and drive back to Kathmandu.
