The best things to do in Kathmandu



Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is high on many travelers' lists of what to do in Kathmandu. This is where you'll find the most important artistic events of the Nepalese capital, as well as a number of beautiful places to visit in Kathmandu. Palaces, temples, shrines, statues and courtyards will welcome you. The buildings date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, and once the homes of local kings. This area was damaged during a recent large earthquake and is being rebuilt.

In the square you'll find the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Some things to see in Kathmandu may seem unusual for Westerners, but they're typical here...a monk walking near a street vendor or cows making their daily walks through narrow lanes in the oldest part of the city. Don't be put off by these typical daily Kathmandu activities!

The Royal Palace is home to the best museums and courtyards in the city. At one side of the square, the Kasthamandap Temple, with its iconic pyramid tower, is one of the most beautiful Kathmandu attractions. Swayambhunath Stupa and the golden spire crowning the valley offer the best views of the city. It is one of the best places to see the attractions in Kathmandu and relax.

Kumari Bahal is the temple of the goddess of life and is the perfect place to go to complete a mystical journey through the religious stuff to do in Kathmandu. If you're looking for nightlife, though, you're out of luck - the city is full of life during the day, but at night you won't find nearly so many things to do in Kathmandu. Search Minube to learn more about this ancient and mystical city.
