Kathmandu Travel Guide Recommendations

Don’t just know Nepal for its snow-capped mountains! Its capital, Kathmandu, a city full of charm, is waiting for you to explore! 1️⃣ Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) 🐒 A must-visit! Climb to the top of the hill and overlook the entire city beneath the huge stupa alongside hundreds of “senior brothers.” When the wind blows through the prayer flags, the gaze of the Buddha’s eyes instantly calms you. 2️⃣ Durbar Square 🏛️ Known as three “living” ancient art museums! Kathmandu Durbar Square: Witness the majesty of the old royal palace. Patan Durbar Square: Admire the architectural marvels of the 14th century. Bhaktapur Durbar Square: The exquisite wood carvings leave you speechless, as if time flows backward. 3️⃣ Boudhanath Stupa 👁️ The largest hemispherical stupa in Asia, a double shock to your vision and soul! Walk a round with the crowd of prayer wheel spinners, listen to the monks chanting, and feel all your worries being purified. Those huge Buddha eyes seem to see through everything. 4️⃣ Kumari Temple (Living Goddess) ✨ Here is the shrine of the Living Goddess “Kumari,” believed to be the incarnation of the goddess Taleju. Visitors can admire the delicate window frames and carvings outside the temple, and occasionally have the chance to see the Kumari Goddess at 10 a.m. ⚠️ Remember: Respect the customs, keep quiet, and absolutely no photography. Come to Kathmandu and start an unforgettable journey!
