Kathmandu Durbar Square is located in the heart of Kathmandu. It is also known as Basantapur and Hanuman Dhoka.

Swayambhunath holds a special place in both Hinduism and Buddhism, surrounded by monasteries. Explore its rich history, soak in the spiritual atmosphere, and enjoy the serene surroundings while gaining insights into Nepal’s cultural and religious tapestry.

Pashupatinath Temple is a must-visit place in Kathmandu. It is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The primary temple stands tall in a pagoda style, decorated with detailed carvings and ornamentation.
