One of the must visit place in Kathmandu, this is a historical and significant place in Nepal. I strongly advice you to wait and see the living goddess kumari. she shows her face few times a day for 30 seconds each time, around 4:15pm , that’s the time I saw her

This little hub inside of Kathmandu is constantly hustling and bustling. You'll find shops and restaurants everywhere, and the people are always kind. Traffic can be a bit daunting at first, but you'll get the hand of it quickly.

At night, I was impressed to see the mysterious and precious building in Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the building lit up without people.

After visiting my trekking in the Himalayas I headed to Bouddhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, the biggest Buddhist temple in Nepal. After that it was time for another must-visit spot: the impressive Pashupatinath temple, also in Kathmandu. Pashupatinath is the biggest and holiest Hindu temple in Nepal, situated on the banks of the Bagmati river. Similar to the Ganges in India, here at Pashupatinath, dead bodies are being burned. It's always very impressive to see and makes you think about life over and over again. It feels good to be there, though.

Nagakut is a village near the Himalayas in Nepal, located on a ridge facing the Himalayas, known as the “Observation Deck of the Himalayas,” with the widest and most beautiful view of the world’s highest peaks. The area on the edge of the Kathmandu Valley is known for its stunning mountain views. The Nagakut Resort has the first view of all the scenic spots, and you can generally enjoy the beautiful mountain views from October to March. It is 32 km from the capital. To Nagakut, it is recommended to arrange a chartered car back and forth, because the shuttle bus time is long, the shuttle bus schedule is very small.

The National Museum of Nepal, although there are not many exhibits, this is the concentration of Nepalese cultural characteristics, it is still very worth visiting. There are not many tourists, the price is not expensive, you can slowly appreciate the experience!
