Kathmandu Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the city's heart. It is a complex of palaces, temples, courtyards, and streets that were once the center of Nepal's royal power.
The square is home to many stunning examples of Newari architecture, including the Hanuman Dhoka Palace, Kumari Bahal (the House of the Living Goddess), and the Taleju Temple.

Also known as the Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Kathmandu. This ancient stupa sits atop a hill overlooking the city and is surrounded by smaller temples and shrines. You can climb the stairs to the top of the hill for breathtaking views of the city and the Himalayas.

Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Hindu temples in the world. Located on the banks of the Bagmati River, the temple complex is dedicated to Lord Shiva and attracts thousands of pilgrims each year. You can observe Hindu rituals and cremation ceremonies from a distance, as non-Hindus are prohibited inside the main temple.

Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in the world and is a major pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. The stupa is surrounded by monasteries and shops selling Tibetan handicrafts, and visitors can participate in prayer and meditation sessions with the monks.
