Sightseeing Kathmandu Valley |
 Kathmandu Valley, the seat of culture and crafts, offers more than casual sight-seeing to the travellers. |
|
 |
Draped along the greatest heights of the Himalaya, the kingdom of Nepal is a land of sublime scenery, time-worn temples, and some of the best walking trails on earth. |

Swayambhu
Stupa watches
over the Valley from the top of a hillock on its western side. The
stupa is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal and its establishment
is linked to the creation of the Kathmandu Valley out of a primordial
lake. Swayambhu is also known as Samhengu and is listed as a World
Heritage Site. |

Durbar Square, like its counterpart in Kathmandu, is an enchanting melange of palace buildings, artistic courtyards and graceful pagoda temples. Listed as a World Heritage Site, the former royal palace complex is the center of Patan’s religious and social life, and houses a museum containing an array of bronze statues and religious objects. There is an entrance fee of Rs. 200 per foreign visitor. One remarkable monument here is a 17th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, built entirely of stone. |
| Bouddhanath Stupa lies about 6 km to the east of downtown Kathmandu and is the largest stupa in the Valley. It looms 36 meters high and presents one of the most fascinating specimens of stupa design. Bouddhanath, a World Heritage Site, is also known as Khasti. |  |
