Bhimsen Tower
The Bhimsen or Dharahara defensive tower was originally built back in 1832. Reaching a height of 76.2 m, it was considered one of the most notable buildings in the “low” Kathmandu, which is not surprising, given its goals.
Kumari Ghar
Kumari Ghar is the temple of the goddess Kumari, the residence in which the living personification of the deity, the incarnation of the goddess Taleju, the militant Hindu goddess Durga, lives. Kumari means “virgin” and in Kathmandu she is considered the most influential deity.
Kopan Monastery
An amazing corner of the unity of nature and man, harmony and self-contemplation is located within the walls of the Kopan Monastery, a popular place in Nepal to study Tibetan Buddhism. The meditation abode is located to the north of the Boudnath Stupa, on top of a hill, and the view from it is amazing.
Pashupatinath
Pashupatinath is a Hindu temple complex located within walking distance from the Bodnath Stupa, in the east of Kathmandu. This temple is an important religious shrine, the oldest Hindu temple of Shiva in the guise of Pashupati — the king of animals.
Durbar Square in Kathmandu
In the Kathmandu Valley, three squares are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: Durbar Square in Patan, Durbar Square in Bhaktapur and Durbar Square in Kathmandu. “Durbar” in translation from Nepali means “place of palaces”, here they call the squares where the old royal palaces are located.
Hanuman-Dhoka
Durbar Square in Kathmandu is a holy of holies for Nepalis themselves, devoutly religious and sacred people, and for tourists. After all, it is on this small piece of land that the most significant sights of the capital of Nepal are located.
Dakshinkali Temple
The Danshinkali Temple is an amazing, mysterious and even somewhat frightening place. Lost in the southern part of the Kathmandu Valley, this Hindu-revered temple is dedicated to the goddess Kali. And she, as we know, was the wife of the god Shiva.
