Patan. Also known as Lalitpur, the city of beauty is separated from Kathmandu only by the Bagmati River and is the
second largest town in the valley. Lalitpur is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive architectural ancient
masterpieces. Patan's central Durbar Square is absolutely packed with temples: Its an architectural center point
with a far greater concentration of temples per sq. meter than in Kathamandu or Bhaktapur. Within the city also lies
the Tibetan refugee center, home to most of the valley's Tibetan population. While technically refugees, the
Tibetans are some of the wealthiest people in the valley because of the carpet industry they operate. For those
looking to bring home a fine Tibetan carpet, this is the place to shop. You will then go to Swayambhunath the
golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhu stupa is adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags; it crowns a hill
overlooking the Kathmandu Valley and offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu. Swayambhunath is one of

steps. (The above sightseeing is for a maximum of 06 hours after the vehicle reports at the hotel)
