It has four main doors all covered with silver sheets. There is a main idol in the center of the four gates and only four priests are allowed to touch the idol. Cremation at Pashupatinath is of spiritual experience where individual physical essence is released from its physical form, allowing it to be reborn. You will then continue to Boudhanath Stupa. Standing more than 120 feet tall, Boudhanath is also amongst the tallest Stupa in Asia. Boudhanath is the heart of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. On each side of the rectangular top of this stupa, there is a pair of eyes. These eyes reflect the awareness of Lord Buddha upon all of the people. A UNESCO world heritage site, Patan City, known as Lalitpur and the ‘The Beautiful City’, was once home to kings who resided in luxurious palaces in Durbar Square. The Ashoka Stupa, with enigmatic painted eyes, is the most inspiring of the four stupas in Patan and the Mahabuddha, the Temple of the Thousand Buddhas, teems with terracotta Buddhist representations. The Swayambhunath Stupa is one of the crowning glories of Kathmandu Valley architecture. The entire structure of the stupa is deeply symbolic: the white dome represents the earth, while the 13-tiered, tower-like structure at the top symbolises the 13 stages to nirvana. After completing the sightseeing, drive back to the hotel.
