Best places: Sights & Landmarks in Kathmandu, Nepal

Buddhist place of worship featuring a sizable white dome topped with a towering, golden spire.

A very old religious site, this Buddhist complex has an iconic stupa, temples & many shrines.

👍 It is connected to the road in front of the Swayambhunath temple. There are statues of Lord Buddha, a symbol of peace. This place is in a beautiful and clean environment.

👍👍 I wanted to take a walking tour of Kathmandu and I found a tour with a local guide. It was a very insightful tour. My guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I got to see local markets, some less well-known landmarks and also some famous attractions. I’m glad I was able to see places off the beaten tra...

Spacious, homey store offering a wide selection of books, souvenirs, knickknacks & handicraft goods.

👍👍 Green valley was the right choice for me. If I do it again with family or friends, I would undoubtedly choose them. Cost of Trek with Heli option was very reasonable. Perhaps, difficult to find such a deal elsewhere. Everything worked for me. Arjun was excellent. He created customized itinerary with...

Landmark, ancient royal complex with various palaces, temples & courtyards, plus a museum.

👍👍 We did this trip in February and it was amazing. I’m a picky person I think, but this was nicely done. Very, very friendly guy running the show here, he knows what service is! Helped us a lot with our luggage, as after the flight we went to another destination in Nepal, smooth communication, helicop...

👍 Akaash Bhairav temple, located in the hotspot of the traditional city of Newars, is a pure example of traditional Newari architecture. This three-storied temple is longitudinal in plan with its front façade facing to the East. Akash Bhairav 'Lord of the sky' is one of the popular Bhairav of Kathman...

👍👍 We had an amazing experience trekking in the Upper Mustang Valley. Third Rock organized a memorable journey for us. From our arrival through our departure, Naba was a very generous host. Shiva, our guide throughout, was very knowledgeable, kind, supportive and flexible and did all he could at all...

Palace museum named after the entryway's stone Hanuman, with exhibits on the Shah Dynasty.

Landmark 1500s Hindu temple with ornate carvings & a tall pagoda, standing on a 12-step plinth.

👍👍 Remember to visit the Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Memorial Stupa at the 3rd floor from main puja hall's backside door.

👍👍 Why do we work for years with MonteRosa Treks & Expeditions together? Because they are trustworthy, and kind. Most of the Hungarian groups /even the big expeditions to Kanchenjunga or Makalu - or trekking groups to Everest BC or Mera peak/ work with them. l personally know at least 50 person from...

👍👍 A beautiful stop on the opposite side to the main entrance to Swayambhu stupa. Poor lighting at night so if you happen to be there late, watch the stairs/uneven surfaces - I stubbed my toe (turned out to be a nasty break). Include this in your circumambulation - it’s lovely!

Museum & former palace showcasing the royal jewels & the scene of the Nepalese Royal Massacre.

👍👍 Nepalese Artistry taken into another level. MoNA is an inspiration or let’s say a gift to a future generation by present Nepalese. You don’t just enjoy the Art but will also get to know about the museum culture and it’s Importance. Since MoNA is situated inside Kathmandu Guest House you will definit...

👍 Beautiful history, culture and traditions of Nepal roaming around the air around.

👍 Located on Upper Mhepi Marg. This temple has two entrances from which one can climb the stairs to reach the temple. 🙏Both from Hindu and Buddhist religion, all sects and castes of Newars worship the deities in the temple. The word "Ajima" is derived from two Nepali words "Aji" meaning grandmother...

👍👍 Amazing service. We took the car service during our 7 days trip in Nepal. Not only the price was reasonable we also made some customization in our itinerary on the way. And they happily arranged everything. Took care of everything. Raju dada was like a big brother.
