Goddess’ acknowledging the greetings of devotees from the balcony of her temple residence; Durbar Square with its array of

temples overlooked by the Hanuman Dhoka Palace, with its

sitting place called Kasthamandap (from which the name

Kathmandu was derived). It is said that Kasthamandap was

made from the timber of a single tree. This whole area reflects the ancient place of the Nepalese Royalty.

Swayambhunath UNESCO world heritage site Located approx. 4 km/2.5 miles

structure of this stupa is composed of a solid hemisphere of bricks and earth supporting a lofty conical spire capped by a

pinnacle of copper gilt. Painted on the four sided base of the

spire are the all-seeing eyes of Lord Buddha. This hill demonstrates the mosaic arts of small Chaityas and Pagoda

temples.

the Hindu Lord Shiva. Located amidst a lush green natural setting on the bank of the sacred Baghmati River, the temple

built in pagoda style has a tilted roof and richly carved silver

doors. Visitors will be permitted to view the temple from the

east bank of Bagmati river, as entrance into the temple is strictly forbidden to all non-Hindus. Pashupatinath is the centre of an

annual pilgrimage on the day of Shivaratri which falls in the month of February/March. Behind the temple is the cremation

ceremony.
