Then you will have a tour of Kumari Goddess Temple (Only living goddess in Nepal). The Divine Goddess is here from her tender age, and she remains in the position until her puberty period. The priests then select the next Goddess to replace her. -

a fantastic tour - This was a great tour, they were very accommodating to me joining with very short notice and I was able to see all the sights in Kathmandu easily! I appreciated the thoughtful commentary of the guide and it was great to have a driver to navigate the city as it can be difficult on your own. I was even dropped at the airport afterwards for my flight!
