Kathmandu Durbar Square

The historic heart of Kathmandu, Durbar Square was once the royal seat where kings were crowned and ruled. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the square is a living museum of palaces, courtyards, and intricately carved temples showcasing Nepal’s finest traditional architecture.

Discover Hanuman Dhoka, the grand entrance to the old royal palace.

Visit the Kumari Ghar, home of the Living Goddess Kumari, a young girl worshipped as the human incarnation of Goddess Taleju. If fortunate, you may catch a glimpse of her at a carved wooden window.

Stroll past Freak Street, once a legendary hippie hub during the Flower Power era.

Learn about the 2015 earthquake’s impact and the ongoing restoration that is reviving the square’s mystic charm.

Budhanilkantha Temple (Jal Narayan)

An open-air shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Budhanilkantha is famed for its magnificent 5-meter-long black stone statue of Vishnu reclining on a bed of serpents in a sacred pond. Carved from a single rock during the Lichchhavi period, it is Nepal’s largest and most impressive stone carving, drawing pilgrims and visitors alike.

Boudhanath Stupa

One of the world’s largest Buddhist stupas, Boudhanath stands majestically just beyond Pashupatinath. Built in the shape of a Mandala, the massive whitewashed dome is adorned with 108 Buddha images, 147 prayer wheels, and colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind. Surrounded by monasteries, Boudhanath is home to Nepal’s largest Tibetan community, creating an atmosphere rich in spirituality and culture.

A short 30-minute drive east of Kathmandu takes you to Bhaktapur, a medieval city steeped in tradition and artistry. Its Durbar Square, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is often called an open-air museum of medieval Nepalese art and architecture.

Key attractions include:

• Lion Gate & Golden Gate – masterfully crafted entrances to the palace complex.
