Huge temple in the middle with shops outlining the walkway around. Super friendly shops and no high pressure sales like many other areas. Not being Hindu, it's hard to review this historic site. You are not allowed to take pictures inside. Most pigeons, I have ever seen.

One of the world heritages, the most beautiful place to visit in Kathmandu Nepal. It is crowded, particularly on the occasion of full moon, lots of people visiting from all different religions. You can buy arts and crafts, particularly nice paintings best on Buddhism.

Wonderful stupa as well as a sacred center for Tibetan Buddhists. People walk around-in circle - , 3 times usually, to show their devotion, as a way of calming the mind and accumulate merits. A must in Kathmandu.

The Buddha Stupa is a nice touristy spot for you when visiting Kathmandu as it is surrounded by 'n' number of local shopping outlets and restaurants offering both local and international cuisine. If you're looking for peace or quietness, this may not be the place for you. The view is truly amazing and you would love to roam around for a while and get everything that is the essence of Nepal.

Famous spot for tourists. Spiritual place for Buddhist. Though the access inside the temple has been restricted recently still you can enjoy taking pictures of it and explore many souvenir shops

The power of Asia’s largest Tibetan stupa cannot be denied. Come in the evening and join the throngs circling its base under its watchful Buddha eyes. This is an absolute must visit in Kathmandu and for anyone remotely interested in Tibetan Buddhism. There are crowds and shops to be sure but enduring these are a small price for a witnessing a cultural icon of this quality.

Its one of the major tourist attractions of Kathmandu. Very nice temple with good ambience. Surrounded by a lot of shops and restaurants. There is a museum inside. Overall Very good temple.

Listed in world heritage list back in 1979. The stupa is a historical pilgrimage site for all the Buddhists around the world. Its white dome and golden spire are breathtaking, and visitors can join locals in prayer and meditation

The shrine's vibrant colors and captivating Buddha eyes are a sight to behold. Locals frequent the temple for prayer, meditation, or blessings. The unique circular structure with its inner and outer sections is fascinating to observe, particularly the monks chanting mantras as they walk in a clockwise direction. Don't forget to spin the prayer wheel for good luck!

An oasis inside of the city - all of the traffic noise disappear and it is the cleanest place I've seen in Kathmandu. Seeing the pilgrim goers and monks adds to the reverent feel.

It doesn't matter how many times you've seen it photographed, there's something about this place that you must see with your own eyes. Even though it’s always crowded, still feel peaceful to me. A must-visit place when you come to Kathmandu.

One of the world heritages, the most beautiful place to visit in Kathmandu Nepal. There are many local vendors. If you're fond of accessories then you'll be a happy customer there. There are many restaurants around which gives you a beautiful view.

400 rps for foreigners. I didn't pay, I just walked in decided without looking back hahaha, it's nice but not worth the money as you can only walk around from the outside. After 8pm the ticket office was closed. It's nice to have a drink or a meal in one of the top floor of the restaurants. Full of money exchange offices with good rate

It's a great place to visit, it felt really nice to walk around the stupa in a clockwise direction. Interacted with the Tibetan monks inside the monasteries located in the premises and got to learn more about Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Do not forget to visit the free Himalayan exhibition museum, which is included in your ticket, plus there are guides present inside who explain to you the importance of the displayed artifact and their historic and cultural significance.

It is undoubtedly my absolute favorite place for basking in the tranquility of a serene environment. Those who cherish peace and solitude would discover their perfect moments during the early morning hours, precisely from 6 to 7 am. You can savor an array of delectable food items, explore and purchase authentic Tibetan products, ignite fragrant incense sticks to enhance the ambiance, and engage in heartfelt worship.

A joyful place of peace and experience the inner spiritual. People around are nice. The walking path could have been a little better.

Great place to visit. Once you get to the back of the temple (relative to the door) there is a building with a huge prayer wheel in the front porch. Be sure to go up the stairs of that building for a better view. Also, if you turn in right by this building and walk down the main road, you'll end up at a really cool buddhist monastery :)

The view of the stupa is simply breathtaking, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who visits. The intricate details and historical significance of the stupa add to its allure, making it a must-visit destination in Kathmandu.

Extremely busy and if you're a Western tourist you'll pay more than tourists from everywhere else. It's a lovely place to visit and see, lots of lovely scents in the air and the local shops are great have your wits about you and be prepared for a good haggle as if you listen they will sell much cheaper to locals.

Beautiful and colourful Buddhist Shrine. Those Buddha Eyes on top of the structure are stunning in every possible meaning. Lots of locals visited this temple to pray, meditate, or just to be blessed. It's a circle shrine with outer and inner parts, you'll see monks walk clockwise around the shrine while chanting mantras, a very interesting sight to see. Do spin the prayer wheel when you visit, blessings may come in any form, and also it's just so much fun to do 🥰

It's a peaceful place where people pray. There are shops, cafes, and monasteries nearby. The stupa looks very detailed and there are wheels you can spin to pray. It's a special place to visit if you want to learn about Nepal's religion and culture. It's crowded most of the time and finding the parking is a bit different so, care about it while visiting with 2 or 4 wheeler in spite of parking is available 30m ahead the main entrance gate in a rate Rs. 25 per hour.

I had a pleasure to visit this amazing place. Despite the hot weather, the temple can give you an insight into the local culture. You can also get a guide who will tell you the story of the place and explain in details particular things (with a payment). Definitely a must see place if you’re planning to come to Kathmandu and nearest cities.

Situated on top of mountain u have to climb lot of stairs. This place has a significant importance in Buddhism. We visited this place after sunset but will recommend all of you to visit this place during day light. And be aware of monkeys. The complex is huge yet so beautiful and serene.

About 400 stairs to climb, make sure you bring lots of water! Careful of the monkeys — don’t touch or get too close, they can attack. Absolutely gorgeous temple with so much to see. I easily spent multiple hours here.

Great place with an excellent view. Short climb, doesn't take much time. Eateries and food joints are available at the top. Great panoramic view of kathmandu city from the top. You'll find a lot of monkeys on your way up.

This is said to be built in the 5th century AD, situated atop a hill and is considered one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal. As Indians we have to buy ticket for NPR 50. You have a beautiful view of Kathmandu from this place. Many monkeys, so keep your belongings safe. You have to climb many stairs. Overall good experience.

Important Buddhist site on top of a hill and pilgrimage destination. Very popular among practitioners. You have an impressive view over Kathmandu. Hundreds monkeys live in the area.

Definitely a must-visit in Kathmandu and a very interesting mix of Hindu and Buddhist culture and architecture. Visits early in the morning are especially enjoyable as it gets more crowded as time progresses. The views overlooking Kathmandu are also pretty great.

It’s up there but would definitely recommend doing the mini hike. It has one of the best valley views! World recommend going around sunset.

It is at the top of valleys mountain. Best place to get a pleasure. I really love the place. We can see whole Kathmandu valley from there. Best to visit there once in a life. We must visit there in life to get some Best experience in life with eyes not by captured photos. Some how it is the place to get something Best in life experience.

A UNESCO world heritage site worth visiting in Kathmandu valley. If you decide to take steps it may take 1 hr or more to climb. The steps are steep and 300+ in number,will be difficult for elderly. The view on the top is amazing.

I have an impression that the temple is for prayer of Buddhist and all others, and also, young people gathered to go out with friends. There are many volunteers to clean and wash up pagoda, building, and interior features. People look happy.

This place may remove ur all diseases! As there are 300-400 stairs to climb from bottom or maybe more stairs not sure ! The view is amazing from here. You will see monkeys enjoying around you. Nice monkeys they don't tease u .. Beautiful paintings to buy after reaching the top ... Visiting temples... Having gud coffee... View of Kathmandu...

Amazing place with a beautiful view over Kathmandu. The energy is very high here. A lot of stairs that you have to climb, but it is well worth it! You can easily spend hours up here.

Great place with an amazing view of Kathmandu city. Monkeys are a little bit scary but that's not a problem. You have to climb 🪜 up to reach the place.

Swayambhunath Stupa is a revered site in Kathmandu, embodying Nepalese Buddhist culture. Its white and gold structure reflects spiritual significance, while the panoramic view from the top showcases the beauty of Kathmandu Valley. The playful monkeys, considered sacred, add a unique charm to this cultural gem. Had a great time being there 😇.

Swayambhunath is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. Totally recommend taking the stairs all the way up. Situated in a high hill, it gives a panoramic view of Kathmandu. The monkeys are less aggressive than in other temples in Asia but still be cautious if carrying any food.

Vintage Place Of Lord Buddha Famous For it's Religious and culture because it's symbol of nature and peace Above The height of Kathmandu People Come for there respective Vows and Ask help From God And Also It's Famous for 🐒 Lots of 🐒 From the Bottom To top you will amazed How monkey is there and they Never Hurt Anyone It's a Miracle of God may be Best place for Peace Nature And Lots of local things are available there Go Visit The Temple Of Lord Buddha's

This place has a significant importance in Buddhism. We visited this place after sunset but will recommend all of you to visit this place during day light. And be aware of monkeys. The complex is huge yet so beautiful and serene.

I just love this place.... Wonderful place... Mesmerizing and soothing place... View from the top is amazing nice ambience structure One of my favorite place in kathmandu.. Wanna go the there again

Visiting the place like this brings you deep relaxation to your soul and body. The view of Kathmandu valley and hills surrounded it and tiny houses looks fabulous and extraordinary 🔥🤍 I saw many people making TikToks for fun or whatever 😂 So, do visit this place ☺️ for spending time with your family friends and your love one 💓. But Remember don't throw plastic bottles,bags etc here and there ❌.

A Buddhist Temple complex on the top of the hill overlooking the city of Kathmandu. It will take you some hiking to get there, but it is very well worth the effort. The view of the city is very nice from up there and the temple is very interesting to see. Consider that it is not very clean there, but the experience is fine.

Marvelous temple sitting on a hilltop, but dirty beyond imagination. It's a very crowded place as lots of people visit it. But there are hundreds of monkeys, then stray dogs. The monkeys jump all around, appears as though they have taken over the temple. It appears the place has not been cleaned up in ages. It's very sad to see such a wonderful monument being so neglected and left to deteriorate.

One of the historic places of Nepal and a pilgrimage for Buddhists. It is located on the Swayambhunath on the top of the hill. It is also known as monkey temples. Many visitors visit this place everyday and enjoy being there. Be careful with the monkeys as they snatch foods from the visitors and can also cause some incidents.

Swayambhunath, a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site perched atop a Kathmandu Valley hill, is a must-visit for history and religion enthusiasts. While the monkeys inhabiting the area lend it the nickname "monkey temple," be cautious of their food-snatching tendencies.

A hilltop temple with wide city views, so a relatively steep, long walk up the staits. A busy temple with a lot to see: stupas, many prayer idols, souvenir stalls, bells, monkeys and ceremonies. Definitely worth the 200 entry fee for foreigners.

Also known as the Monkey Temple, this religious site is located on a hill not far from Kathmandu and on a clear day you can a really nice view of the valley. Unfortunately we went during winter and it was dry and hazy so all we got was a hazy view. Monkeys roam the area and surprisingly they are very well behaved, probably because they are cared for by temple staff who treats them as holy monkeys.

A must visit if you're in Kathmandu. Such a beautiful complex nestled on top of a hill with an amazing view towards the entire city. A lot of different shrines in the area, both for Buddhist and Hindu. The locals also call this temple as Monkey Temple, because you'll find a lot of monkeys around the area, and they're so cute, especially the babies 🥺🥺 They're not aggressive but don't provoke them and don't feed them outside food. I guess the temple management has special food for them.

It was approximately 3km walk from Kathmandu Thamel. It’s a beautiful Hindu temples and deities incorporated in a Buddhist site. Kathmandu city can be seen from here. FYI toilets here were FOC, do not pay money to 2 guys asking for money (see picture)

Considering that many temples in this city won't allow you in unless you're Hindu, this is definitely one of the best temples that will. $2 entrance fee gets you one of the best views of Kathmandu, and there are monkeys and dogs aplenty roaming around. Watch out for the hustlers on the steps up to the hill, they'll tell you "50 for this necklace", until you agree and then they will say "I meant $50 USD". Aside from these scammers, a great little hike and spectacular views.

Nice square with a lot historical buildings, temples, shops and restaurants. It's an old square where a lot of historical events took place. There is supposed to be 50 temples in this place, though some of them are very old and not maintained well. Nice place to spend time.

Lots of temple and kings palace to be seen..this place is quite huge so expect a little walking. Got to know many ancient cultures related to Nepalese people. A must visit place. I don't exactly remember the temple's name but saw a black mandala by dalailama on the entrance door.

It was very nice and informative place. Here we can see the oldest architectural design. Without any machinery they build so many high rise buildings and they're still very strong. It's q very nice tourists spot. Kids and students can visit here and they can learn more about past.

This place is situated at the heart of Kathmandu's business hub, New Road. Roads are busy and full of people all the time. This heritage site has lots of temples and sculptures around. Morning, day or evening, it's fun to walk around watching all the busy lives going about their day. Everyone should visit this place if they are around the area, it doesn't matter if you are by yourself, with your partner or in a group, this place has a fresh vibe that will please all.

Several temples in a huge square, among them Jagannath. The small one are very interesting and peculiar. In the morning, the area is visited area by the Nepalese to pray and do their offering to the Gods.

Good but under a major rejuvanation process. Most temples closed due to renovation. Lots of people visiting during evenings. Worth a visit, if not now then in the upcoming years when all the damage due to earthquake is undone and a new durbar square is brought to life.

This is another historical place. Also a place for shopping all kinds of stuff. There are a lot of roof top cafe's around. Feels warm in the evening. Place looks lovely with so many people around. There is also a pedestrian street where vehicles are not allowed.

Kathmandu Durbar Square is a captivating UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nepal. The square showcases intricate architecture, ancient temples, and historical artifacts. Its vibrant atmosphere, combined with the rich cultural heritage, offers a mesmerizing experience. A must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking to immerse themselves in Nepal's unique charm.

At first we thought it was a gated area that need buy ticket or wearing special bangle pass to enter but it wasn't. If the guard ask you to pay the ticket then you need to, if not then you can enter free based on your appearance as local. normally white people they alert your present. It's more better of there is signage label each place / buildings. Maybe can give more info about the building such as date, function, materials used etc.

Ultimate place for Heritage lovers, voted the best place in Asia for Heritage on 2023. Enjoy breadth taking view and architecture built when even USA was not discovered

One of the main squares in Kathmandu, very historical and great vibes overall. The entrance fee was 1000 NPR (steep for Nepal) and it gets you access to some buildings which they wouldn't let you in otherwise. You need to bargain hard with the street vendors.

A religious site for Hindu 🕉 . Lots of temples and monuments in this area. A river named Bagmati flowing between temples 🛕 Capturing photos after entering from gate of main temple is strictly prohibited 🚫. Other than this area you can click pictures 📸 of anywhere. A small area on upper part of temple is separated for deer 🦌that can be visited free of cost. I strongly advise visitors to carry their 🍌🍎🍕foods and belongings safely because of various monkey 🐒 attacks that had been reported several times. I recommend everyone to visit this place once a life time.

Huge temple! I am not religious but it was still worth a visit. Pretty decent valley views. Be respectful and don’t take pictures inside. Just enjoy people watching and general vibe of the place. TIP: There’s a spot on the left near the entrance to securely leave your shoes.

Love this place ❤ Nice Temple. Feels with positive vibes to be here. There are a lot of smaller temples inside the compound. Architecture of Sanctum Sanatorium is amazing. Temple is very close to airport.A very beautiful temple. The surrounding is clean and the garden is well-maintained. The view is amazing. This very famous temple of Lord Shiva is situated at Kathmandu in Nepal. Well known place for whole world and lots of people visited every year to see the beauty as well as to worship too. People of nepal are also beautiful and friendly. I won't write too much because few things you must feel instead of writing. Thanks🙏

Located in Kathmandu; Nepal a very sacred place for the Hindus.Lord Shiva is worshipped here. This place is very good as it doesn't have people to fool you for talking holy things and fruits for worshipping. A place is made where you can keep your shoes free of cost. Temple closes at 2pm . No photography is allowed inside the premises and if caught phone will be taken by nepal police. Some of the photos are attached below It's the best place to visit and have tour. It's a holy place of Hindu and it's a worship place of lord Shiva. When visiting this temple you should must visit the garden are...

One of the best temple of 12 Jyotirlingas. Well maintained and well disciplined. I appeal the visitors to this temple, that DO NOT SHOOT PHOTOGRAPHS inside this temple. The local security people will seize your camera or mobile phone. Please respect the discipline here.

This very famous temple of Lord Shiva is situated at Kathmandu in Nepal.I am not religious but it was still worth a visit. Pretty decent valley views. Be respectful and don’t take pictures inside. Just enjoy people watching and general vibe of the place.This is a beautiful temple and we are blessed to be able to witness and so freely stroll it. Recommend that people do not take advantage of this privilege, however. It's rare to have such a place of worship open to tourists. Please read about the appropriate behaviour before you go in. Dress respectfully and be sure to remove your shoes when you step on the scared ground.

What a great temple! Loved it here with all the dynamics! When we purchased the tickets at the locket, there was a guide pretending to explain us about the rules and regulations. He tried to show us around but he never mentioned about his fee. When we asked him about his service, he finally said $15. We didn’t want to use any guide so we said no. It would be better if the guide didn’t pretend and just ask. Apart from that, it was a very interesting place to be. Where you can watch live cremation there.

A holy Hindu temple which is also a world Heritage Site as declared by Unesco. In the evening there is very less crowd. Capturing photos inside the temple is not allowed but you can click photos outside the entry gate. Also no need to deposit your mobile, wallet, belts etc. You can go inside easily. Inside the temple, god Shiva is in the main temple, there are 4 gates of temple one at each direction. A big Nandi idol is also there facing Lord Shiva.

"Pashupatinath Temple holds profound cultural significance as one of the holiest Hindu temples in Nepal. The tranquil atmosphere surrounding the temple complex offers solace to visitors seeking spiritual refuge. Ascending to the hilltop, one is greeted with breathtaking panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley, a sight to behold. Within the temple, devotees pay homage to Lord Shiva, the presiding deity, believed to grant the wishes of his devotees. Pashupatinath stands as a timeless testament to Nepal's rich religious heritage and offers a sanctuary for both pilgrims and admirers of its scenic beauty.

The Great Pashupati naath temple of Kathmandu 🙏🏻 The temple campus is huge and very beautiful. Keep at least a hour to thoroughly visit the temple and for prayers. Photos are not allowed inside the campus, so kindly respect the same. You can cross the river and climb to the other side to get the views of the great temple.

This very famous temple of Lord Shiva is situated at Kathmandu in Nepal. Well known place for whole world and lots of people visited every year to see the beauty as well as to worship too. People of nepal are also beautiful and friendly. I won't write too much because few things you must feel instead of writing. Thanks🙏

You can feel the energy here. The temple is beautiful. People don't follow any que system. Have enough time to visit all small temples nearby. You have to leave your footwear outside the temple. There is a place for footwear drop center by temple free of cost. Be very careful while shopping. Need to do lots of bargain and select original products.

This is One of the famous temples of shivji. The place is beautiful, although tiles in summers will be very hot, be careful of that while walking. Photography is not allowed inside the temple, but you can click photo till you reach the main gate. There are a lot of monkeys inside the temple so take care of your prasad and all.

Great place for a religious point of view. Lord Shiva temple which is consider as a most important religious (HINDU) temple in the world.

Nice and peaceful place. Visit during the evening only if you'd like to see the aarati. Else you can visit during the day because it's comparatively less crowded during the day time than the evening.

A holy Hindu temple which is also a world Heritage Site as declared by Unesco. In the evening there is very less crowd.

Pashupatinath temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupati, a form of Shiva, and is located in Kathmandu, very good place you can’t take pictures inside temple but outside area you can have your photo

One of the best and beautiful places to visit in Kathmandu. Near to the airport. Morning and evening we can visit. It has an amazing വview, beautiful structure and wide variety of devotional things inside. Camera is not allowed inside the temple main building, but we can use outside that which is also inside the compound. Free footwear keeping area is provided. Do not give money to local people to keep your footwear. A must visit place.

Smaller than I thought but it looks like some expansion is going on. Well cared for and a pleasant visit. Good place to read a book. Seniors get half of the $3 admission. Bring your passport. No cafe but maybe at other times one will open. Not busy on a Tuesday.

We are not sure the purpose of the visiting for nowadays (based on our own experienced coz at Kashmir also local suggest is to visit the garden), maybe the culture or during passed time this place suitable. Anyway it's a good maintained place with clean & fresh ambiance. Got entrance fees.

This is a small but very beautiful garden. It has many beautiful flowers and trees. There is a cafe inside the garden. It will take around 1-2 hours to enjoy this garden. Entry fee is charged and ticket can be bought at the entrance itself. Do visit this place if you enjoy nature or want to get some beautiful pictures clicked!

The gardens were very close within walking distance from our hotel in Thamel. Beautiful gardens lots of assorted plants comfortable areas to sit lots of architect Nice place to sit and relax or read a book. Is there restaurant insight where You can drink really good coffee. Is not large but really nice place...

Beautiful garden, albeit a bit small but that's expected as Kathmandu is a small but interesting city. A very relaxing, quiet and secluded area where you almost forget that you're in Nepal. If you're planning on where to go during the day, then this garden is a great shout but you'll spend 1-2 hour max here as it isn't very big, as previously mentioned. Definitely still visit this place though, I highly recommend it.

As you go in you can feel the peace and calmness of the garden. Be aware of bugs and mosquitos as it has a lot of nature inside. It’s a beautiful place to have a date, to read a book or paint and it is full of security so you feel save while you see the amazing architecture and nature of the place.

There is really nothing dream-worthy about this garden. It is a small garden financed by the Austrian government in downtown Kathmandu. There is a 400 Rupee entrance fee, which I think was not worth it. The place is green and there are benches to relax, and normally, it is not very crowded.

One of the best places to visit in Kathmandu. Located in the city and yet filled with peace and tranquility. It has beautiful flowers and is filled with greenery. The restaurants inside are great.. Ideal for a stroll and for clicking pictures.

Very beautiful place! So peaceful and calm. Very nice cafe on the territory. A lot of animals and good people around! Definitely worth 400 rupees

It was wonderful 😊. I had a pleasant time there. It's a peaceful place to escape the hustle of Kathmandu Valley. 🎈 You need to pay to get inside and it varies depending upon your nationality. If you're Nepali, it will cost you significantly less than that of if you're foreigner or simply tourist. There's no student id fee discount. Enjoy your visit. Have fun . Stay safe

I visited first time in this garden in the morning time. The colour of the walls are very soothing. The plants and tress are planted in a very decorative manner. You can sit and spend a good time in this garden. The look of the garden is royal. The sound of the fountain will make you feel happy. The garden is well maintained.

Pros: •Good place to hangout with family and friends •Well maintained and absolutely free of litter •At good location (easy to reach in Kathmandu) •Pleasant ambience •Good place to take kids •Has Parking area •Greenery of the place is well maintained with variety of flower and plants •The Garden of Dreams is quite popular for couples as well. •This can be an ideal place to take break from the noisy world. Cons: •Slightly overpriced (Single ticket for foreigners: Rs 400, Single ticket for Nepalese: Rs. 150) Note: It has parking area in "Kaiser Library", which is adjacent to The Garden of Dreams."

Nice garden, high price for tourist entry. Came on a Saturday so was quite busy, full of people doing tiktoks which ruined the experience for those wanting to relax and enjoy the beauty of the place. Loved the old style buildings nearby which are being renovated.

Today, it was my first time to the garden of dreams. It is also good place for dating your girlfriend . I really enjoyed this place. It is full of greenhouse with variety of flowers and small green grass. It’s a Lovely little garden. Yes there is an entry fee which is about 150 per head but the garden is very nice and well managed. It’s a nice break from being a tourist in the city. It was very relaxing to sit back and enjoy people watching.

Beautiful garden (400 per person). The Kaiser cafe inside has a decent menu though it is quite pricey and tricky to get a seat. I’d recommend going early and spending a few hours to make it worth the entrance.

A charming garden very attractive particularly at sunset when you can see it in daylight and in artificial light. A nice place for rest from crazy traffic outside. A good place to spend time with friends and to have coffee or a meal in one of the restaurants. When the palace refurbishment is finished the place will be even more attractive than it is now...

In the heart of Kathmandu, this garden beckons with its elegance and charm, offering a sanctuary where the pace of the city yields to the tranquility of nature.

I will not count it as a tourist spot. It is just a simple garden and entry fee is exceptionally high. Our residential society has a better garden and that is free to access. We bought ticket worth 400 NPR and place was over as soon as we enter the garden. Do not waste your money going here instead go to nearby thamel market you may buy something useful of that 400 NPR.

A very refreshing and peaceful place to visit if you want to go away from the city but yet get to be inside it. You can see a variety of flowers, plant and squirrel 🐿️ which is very cute . You can visit the cafe and sit in the garden. If you want to go somewhere and spend time with your friends and family within the valley then this is the place.

Perfect place for chilling out. It was an awesome moment visiting the place. If you love the peace of mind, You must visit this place.

Beautifully kept garden with central water feature. Two cafes makes for a nice pits stop. A little overpriced entry fee.

It’s a beautiful, quiet spot. You’d need about 30 minutes to check it out. You can take some great photos here, or just sit on a bench or lie on the grass and enjoy the peace and quiet. Also, there are a lot of chipmunks around here. If you bring some snacks, you can feed them. 🐿️🐿️🐿️

Set up fee years back to burn dead body to save environment pollution. It helps to save forest and keep clean air. The Pashupati development fund have to manage waste clothes of death body and things offered by visitors.

In future it can be the last stop for every travellers. It could work to reduce environment pollution and deforestation. It definitely reduce pain of cremation by hiding from the sight of family and friends. Great initiative taken by "Pasupati chetra bikas kosh" and should be followed by every Province, District and zonal administration.

Nepal's first electic crematorium. Due to covid19 people are not allowed to enter building. Good parking space available.

The only electric crematorium in Kathmandu.

Cleaner and safer approach to cremation.

Altimate destination!!

The place is public.

The information on Google isn't updated, and turned out that nobody is allowed to enter but the students only. I don't know how it used to be in past, but for me, as a person who enjoys studying different cultures and philosophies(especially Buddhism), it's strange that they're isolating themselves. Based on the comment prior, I understand that some people might have been disrespectful in this holy place, but I think other preventive methods could be applied rather than closing it off for everyone. Despite of a slightly far way, at least we could breathe some fresh air on that hill. I hope that all the religions of the world will appreciate those who want to learn more about them.

My friend and I walked for about an hour to get there at around 3.50 pm but the security guy didn't let us come in. He just used the body language and Nepali, didn't speak English so we couldn't understand the reason. A waiter of a nearby restaurants told us to come in the early to be able to get inside that was helpful to know. The view from this place was great. The road to get here also has some beautiful view point. But quite dusty and many rubbish...

Buddhism is the religion of salvation, peace, mindfulness and self-control. I loved this place and I wanna say this is my top favourite place in the entire country of Nepal. It was so peaceful and relaxing with pin drop silence. It is very comfortable and safe with great food available especially in the canteen. The only thing which I didn't like was the gesture of the security guard here who didn't like us staying here for long because we were apparently "non-Buddhists".

I’ve spent in Kopan over a week learning about meditation and Buddhism. And it was an amazing experience! The monastery is a perfect environment to spend with no exposure to external distractions. I can highly recommended!

Seriously don't go..... .Visiting is not allowed there .You need booking almost before a week to go there...its very disheartened to say that being buddhist country nepal you are not allowed to visit there ....

My experience at Kopan was life changing. My boyfriend and I did the 5 day Mind and Meditation training course in October 2022 and for both of us, it has fundamentally changed the way we think about ourselves, relationships, love, and life in general. This place is incredibly special, from the buildings and setting, to the monks and nuns (big shout out to Khadro, the most amazing nun that was patient, compassionate and kind with all of her teachings and guided meditations - explaining why we meditate, how we meditate and picking apart concepts such as love and death), to the people that you meet during the course. I loved not having my phone for 5 days (shocking). I loved the silence we observed from after dinner until lunch the next day. I loved the group discussions. All I can say is wow. If you show up with an open mind and an open heart, you have the potential to heal yourself in ways that you may never have thought were possible. I’ll see you again soon Kopan ❤️

I wanted to explore Kopan Monastery on the third day of travel but then cab drivers I interacted with suggested that it wouldn't be a nice idea to visit this monastery as roads were not clear. But I still wanted to visit it once before coming back to India as I read great reviews of this place and also witnessed some amazing scenery. So, on the last day in Nepal, I finally visited this monastery and clicked lots of pictures. I talked to one monk there who has been residing in the monastery for 22 years and he has been there since his childhood. I asked him 'Do you practice celibacy?" to which he replied, "Yes, I do". While walking from pillar to post in the monastery I could feel that he was living in heaven and made the right choice for this life.

Monastery itself is so peaceful and awesome but the surrounding hike and the sunset is amazing

No Tourist allowed. But, It is a Beautiful place to visit. One can see whole view of Katmandu City and See the taking off of Aeroplane from nearby cafe. If you are here and not allowed to go inside like me...don't worry go to nearby cafe BARDALI ROOFTOP RESTAURANT and enjoy the view. Love from India. 🇮🇳

Situated at the top of a hill. Slightly bad roads as you climb on top . Our car driver not able to reach the entrance and has to enquire from locals and finally reached the monastery. The timings are up to 5 pm however visitors are allowed only up to 4 pm. We reached around 0350 pm and were lucky to be allowed inside by the security guard with condition that we will return in 15 min. What a lovely place !!! As you get inside the prayer room one can experience the power of silence as the place inside is peaceful and silent. It’s advisable to sit inside closing your eyes for atleast 10 min to experience the power of meditation which is induced by the silent atmosphere prevailing there. From outside you can have a nice panoramic view of the city of Kathmandu which is lovely site. They have a small cafeteria there and washrooms are also available A must place to visit for all tourists

Місце, в якому я знайшла свій другий дім. Kopan became my home for almost 2 months. I did 10 days introduction course to Buddhism and meditation , and stayed for the November course. It was incredible experience. I love this place . Thank you for the deepest knowledge. Here I found my second family. Sending love to each monk💙💛

A serene place where it teach people who wising to follow teaching of Lord Buddha. A place which is located in nepal kathmandu mountains. This place offer lot of courses and retreats if you wish to explore a journey of self discovery. Visitors from all over the world come to Kopan monastry to attend courses and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of the place for study and practice, where it will leads to a balanced life. A place where heals your mind body and soul.

Staying here for 9 nights and it’s exactly what I was looking for and more. It’s a dream come true. The food for guests is amazing.

Visiting Kopan Monastery was a truly surreal and enriching experience. Nestled just north of Boudhanath in the Kathmandu valley, the monastery sits atop a picturesque hill, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding terrain. Its serene ambiance, coupled with the clean, crisp air, creates an atmosphere conducive to inner reflection and spiritual growth. The monastery's architecture is a testament to Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism's rich heritage, and its design exudes a sense of tranquility that immediately puts one at ease. Upon entering, two stunning stupas greet visitors, each exuding a sense of ancient wisdom and spirituality. What struck me most about Kopan Monastery was its serene silence. It's a place where one can truly escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing for deep contemplation and meditation. I spent several hours in the Kopan central library, surrounded by a vast collection of Buddhist texts and teachings. The library's ambiance was both peaceful and inspiring, making it an ideal place for self-discovery. The monks and lamas at Kopan, ranging from seven to sixty years old, are deeply committed to their spiritual journey, and their presence adds to the monastery's authenticity. As a visitor, I felt welcomed and embraced by the warmth of the Kopan community. In summary, Kopan Monastery offers a unique opportunity to connect with Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism's profound teachings in a setting of natural beauty and serenity. It's a place where the mind can find stillness, and the soul can embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Changing experience during our introductory course on Mahayana Buddhism and emotions. Very grateful to our teachers, staff, and students for a wonderful 5 day stay here. For people who would like to attend one of the courses and wonder what it's like, the living conditions at the monastery are very good, clean comfy beds, very tasty veg food, and serene.

Such a special place! Would recommend the 10-day Introduction to Buddhism course to anyone seeking to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life, to understand their own minds or just to learn a bit more about Tibetan Buddhism (see their website for schedule). The teachers were very good and the fully vegetarian meals we had were amazing, I’m already missing the peanut/almond butter :)

Well , the place seems to good from outside!🐣✌🏻

This is the place that the Kumari living Godess lives. We were lucky there arriving 10.53am on a Saturday, so was told that the Godess will at her presence from the center wooden window on the highest floor right at 11.00am. Seems the Godess will present twice a day at 11am and 4pm, but please confirm the time with the local. While the Godess appears to the public, all photos and videos are prohibited, please do follow the rules. Crowds are waiting for the Godess appearance at the tiny courtyard, so better be there earlier. The Godess only appeared for less than half minute.

Kumaris are selected from Newar community. In order to be the rightful candidate, she must be in excellent health, never been afflicted by any diseases or have shed blood, should be without blemish and must not have lost any teeth yet. Kumari has to undergo rigorous tests to prove that she really has the qualities to be living vessel of Goddess. According to Hindu mythology, some unspecified form of divine power is supposed to reside in the Kumari goddess and she is looked under a special care of the appointed parent

This place is really quite. And u will really peace here. Only Hindus are allowed to enter and meet with Kumari. And pictures are not allowed to be taken of Kumari the goddess.

met Kumari there twice. The first time, however, we had to abruptly stop in the middle of our visit because an elderly man was holding a camera. If you visit there, please be respectful to her and never put your smart phone or camera in your bag.

Mixed feelings about his place. Love holding on to traditions, but this one is a hard one to swallow. The young lady (Kumari) was visibly uncomfortable being shown off. Not sure I. It doesn’t seem right.

It is widely believed, for example, that serving as a Kumari can make a woman ineligible for marriage, as there is a popular tradition that the spouses of former Kumaris meet an early demise. The tradition of worshipping a chosen virgin as manifestations of the divine female energy.

Living goddess Kumari lives here and you can visit her. I have never been inside but I always admire everything from outside 🫶🏻🙏🏻

Kumari Ghar (House of Kumari) is a residence of Kumari (Young girl). Nepalese worship a young girl as Kumari, the only living deity (goddess) in the world turning her into a Goddess of Power with sacred rituals. Living goddess Kumari wears a mark of third eye on her forehead, a special symbol of her divinity. According to the legend the famous and most believed tale is of Jay Prakash Malla, an ancient Malla king in Nepal. People say that the king used to play dice games with goddess Taleju in his chamber. Taleju was the clan deity of the Mallas. So, there was a condition from the goddess that neither anyone should know nor he could tell about her presence l in king's chamber. Unfortunately, one day, his queen found them playing dice in his chamber. Being caught by the queen, the goddess Taleju disappeared. Before leaving, the Taleju goddess told the king that she will incarnate herself as a little girl of the Newari (Shakya) community. After hearing her statements, the King left the palace in search of a young girl possessed by Taleju’s spirit. This way, the tradition of worshiping the young girl started around the 17th century in the Kathmandu valley. Selection of kumari :-Five senior Bajracharya priests conduct the selection process including the chief priest of Taleju Bhawani, the Caretaker of Kumari house, and head astrologer. They check on the various aspects of a child (4 to 5 yrs old) before declaring her a new Kumari (living goddess). After selection, she resides in her dedicated home (Kumari Ghar) in Kathmandu Durbar Square. People believe, just a glimpse of the living goddess will bring good fortune. It is also believed that Kumari holds a special power over the illness. Tenure of kymari:- They remain as a living goddess Kumar until commencement of her first menstrual cycle. After that the selection process for new Kumari will begin again.

This video is from inside of Kumasi house. Kumari, Kumari Devi, or the Living Goddess is the tradition of worshipping a chosen virgin as manifestations of the divine female energy or Shakti in Dharmic Nepali religious traditions. It is believed that the girl is possessed by the goddess Taleju or Durga. The word Kumari is derived from Sanskrit meaning princess. The main target of a Kumari puja is to realize the potential divinity in every human being, mostly female. A Hindu spiritual aspirant sees the universal consciousness of humanity.

One of the place That I visited, It's very wonderful We can just imagine levels of skilled that our ancestors is It is just mind-blowing fantastic And respect towards that ancestors those who have hand to this historical architecture Who make Nepal to shine through marvelous architecture

I was lucky enough to see Kumari, but she was chewing on something.....

It is one of the sacred places in Darbar Square and is usually crowded on weekends. It is one of the centers for rituals and culture in the city. It is the residence of the Kumari (Goddess) according to Buddhists and Hinduism belief. The best time to visit is 9 am to 11 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. The residence is clean and historical. Taking pictures of the goddess is prohibited but you can take blessing from her upon her appearance.

Kumari Ghar, located in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal, is a historic and culturally significant residence that has been home to the living goddess, or Kumari, for centuries. The Kumari is a prepubescent girl selected from the Newar community based on strict criteria of purity and auspicious signs. The architectural style of Kumari Ghar is traditional Newari, reflecting intricate wood carvings and an intricately designed facade. One of the notable features is the ornate peacock window, a symbol of royalty and divinity. The Kumari observes the world from a window of Kumari Ghar during certain auspicious occasions. While the Kumari's tenure is temporary and typically ends with puberty, her presence in Kumari Ghar holds immense cultural and religious significance for the people of Nepal. The courtyard of Kumari Ghar occasionally opens to the public, providing visitors with a glimpse of Newar architecture and an opportunity to witness a living tradition deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of Kathmandu.

One of the most sacred temple of Nepal. In Hinduism, it is believed that the Kumari Mata is the living incarnation of Taleju Bhawani Mata (Goddess Durga). One can easily search and read about all the divine legends, events and myths about this place in the internet. This reading will only increase your curiosity about this holly place. Apart from the religious angle, this temple is a living example of the craftsmanship of the highest standard. One can be easily mesmerized and blown away with the wooden crafting of the walls. One tip, please refrain from using mobile phone or camera in the presence of her holiness. Do not insult the local belief and spirit.

This is historical place we know but in this time there is nothing special nowdays still they charge 30 per person .?? There are few areas only and student doesn't get any discount. When it will be completely renovated it will be good.... Thank you

Well preserved historic and religious site / area. Great place to visit and buy souvenirs at reasonable price. Very close to main attraction areas in Kathmandu 🇳🇵👍

Lots of things and sculptures to see and explore. You get to see the old palace of the Nepali Kings and rulers. You also get to experience the Nepali culture with lots of gods and goddesses everywhere around this place. The pictures are taken during the Indra Jatra festival, where you get to see the living goddess 'Kumari' in chariots and taken around town. Also during this time, the whole door of 'Swet Bhairab' is opened for the week of festivities. If you get a chance visit the durbar inside out and the top of the palace too.

The area is good. Except the part that people sit around and smoke cigarettes, leaving the cigg butt just around the temple. Some play board games there. It is not properly conserved. Some part is still under renovation (earthquake 2015). But the Place is Majestic, beautiful and gives a vibe of ancient times. Museum is still under Renovation. But other parts are beautiful, serene and visit worthy. Good pic point.

It was good place to visit ascent nepal. All history is alive there in the form of statue statue, monument, buildings, temples. And its the great opportunity for young to witness something like that. Kinda get inspired. And talking about visiting, its very gold spot to go for with family, friends or someone special.

One of the landmarks of Kathmandu, popular among locals and tourists. Evening is a better time to visit this place. The area is quite spread out with a lot of structures and temples of Gods and Goddesses.

Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square stands as a testament to Nepal's rich cultural heritage, boasting exquisite craftsmanship that captures the essence of centuries-old artistry. Within its precincts, visitors can immerse themselves in the nation's history by exploring museums that offer a comprehensive journey through Nepal's past. For a nominal fee of just Rs 50, visitors gain access to a treasure trove of historical artifacts, allowing them to delve deep into Nepal's vibrant heritage and cultural legacy. From intricately carved wooden structures to fascinating exhibits, Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square offers an enriching experience that is both educational and awe-inspiring.

This is a world heritage site. The government takes money from foreigners to visit this area. Please manage it clean and some begger and seller bugs foreigner too much. Some places stink of urine. Unacceptable! Please take some advice from Bhaktapur durbar square

I was thoroughly impressed by the rich history and cultural heritage displayed in the museum. The museum offers a wealth of information on the history of Nepal and the fine artistic masterpieces of Nepalese arts and culture that are truly a sight to behold. Both local and international tourists should definitely add Hanuman Dhoka to their must-visit list. A truly exceptional experience! The museum closes at 5pm local time so plan accordingly.

It is currently being renovated; so, it is not possible to see everything here. This beautiful place was damaged by the earthquake but due to the efforts of the government and foreign aid, renovation is going well. There is a museum inside this place where they display ancient jewellery. Photography is not allowed there. You can enter the museum by paying a small fee. When it is completely renovated, it will be more exciting to visit this place.

The palace gets its name from the stone image of Hanuman, the Hindu deity, that sits near the main entryway. The buildings were severely damaged in the 2015 earthquake. Some parts are still renovating. It is famous for its historical heritage and monuments. Entry fee for Nepalese is NRP 30. And different for SAARC country citizens and other country. If you are up to Nepali history, this is the none for you.

A temple venerated by both Hindus (who believe it's a statue of Lord Shiva) and Buddhists (who believe it's a statue of Buddha). The reclining statue is a wonderful artistic creation made out of single block black basalt stone, considered to be the largest stone carving in Nepal. The reclining posture of the God/Buddha is rare which makes it special. Beautiful and colorful surroundings of the temple always crowded by devotees makes it a worthwhile visit to the temple by anyone visiting Kathmandu. Better to visit early in the morning. You can feed the pigeons and many selling rice and grain. Multiple street food shops around the temple where can enjoy authentic Nepalese snacks. Cleanliness is an area for improvement.

Budha Nilkantha is not Shiva, it's Vishnu. Very nicely decorated dairy. Temple complex is nice. Shiva is in temple complex. They offer vermilion on Lord Shiva that I never saw in India. Nicely maintained and clean complex.

Sleeping Vishnu temple. The day we visited, counting of donated money was being done by volunteers. Any body could just sit and help in making bundles of Currency notes. I had never seen such a scene before. Wonderful experience.

The name Budhanilkantha gives the impression of the temple being dedicated to Buddha, however, the Budhanilkantha in Nepal is a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. One of the special features of Budhanilkantha reclining Vishnu Statue is that it is believed to be floating on water, though this has not been proven as scientific studies cannot be undertaken because of religious reasons. However, a chip of the statue which had come off was found to be very rich in silica. The Budhanilkantha literally means, “Old Blue Throat”, the “Blue Throat”, refers to Lord Shiva, however, the idol is of Lord Vishnu. The features of Lord Vishnu in the Buddha Neelakanta temple resemble those of the Buddha. Lord Vishnu in sleeping position temple or the Budhanilkantha temple is believed to have the largest stone-carved sculpture in Nepal. The Narayanthan Temple or the Budhanilkanta temple is a sacred place and visited by both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. The Buddha Neelakanta statue measures 5 meters and can be seen in a supine or reclining position in the centre of a pool measuring about 13 meters long. The reclining statue of Vishnu in the Budhanilkantha temple is believed to be having a mirror image below the surface of the water too, however, this is not confirmed. It is believed that once during the 17th century, Pratap Malla who was the ninth king of Kantipur had a vision according to which any king of Nepal visiting the Budhanilkantha temple would die. It is believed that owing to this vision no king of Nepal has ever visited the Budhanilkantha temple ever since. The sleeping image of Vishnu is beautifully sculpted from a single block of black basalt rock. It has four hands which hold the Shankha, Chakra, Gadha, and a gem, in typical Hindu iconography.

A Hindu temple (also venerated by Buddhists) Also known as Narayanthan Temple. Dedicated to Hindu God Vishnu. Located at the Northern part of Kathmandu Valley below Shivapuri Hill. The main statue is carved out of a single black basalt stone. You can visit for free Large space Many shops and stalls around Full of Pigeons Mostly crowded

This temple is regarded as a sacred place for Hindus but is equally well venerated by Buddhists (who consider the murti to be Buddha). It is considered as a sign of religious harmony that has existed in the region since ancient times . Some people associate Budhanilkanth's name with Gautama Buddha since it pronunciation being closely similar but this is not a correct fact. Though the temple is named Budhanilkantha, its name does not come from the Buddha; Budhanilkantha instead has a Sanskrit origin that means ‘Old Blue Throat’, a title of Lord Shiva that was given by gods after the Lord drank poison to save the world. The statue symbolizes Lord Vishnu, who is regarded as one of the 'Trimurtis', along with Brahma and Shiva.

Great place of Hindu religion. I have seen The Sleeping Vishnu here for the first time in my life. The road to this temple is rather narrow and very steep to climb for driving. I strongly advise to the visitors to drive very very carefully while going to this temple. Rather I suggest to hire local driver for sightseeing to local places of Kathmandu.

One of its kind temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Vishnu in sleeping pose on Adisesha surrounded by water is a magnificent sight. It’s a fairly small temple on the outskirts of Kathmandu. By the side there are small temples for Radha Krishna and Lakshmi. There is a small courtyard by the side where people feed pigeons. Overall a very pleasant experience visiting this Temple.

Worlds only one temple where "God Bishnu's" statue is on single stone. Which is biggest statue. You can't found other similar statue in the world. Very beautiful and attractive place. Go and visit once in life.

It's Hindu open air temple dedicated to Lord Mahavishnu. Budhanilkantha Temple is also known as the Narayanthan Temple, and can be identified by a large reclining statue of Lord Mahavishnu. A must visit if u happen to be in Kathmandu.

It is a pilgrimage site for Hindus. As a visitor you can explore the surroundings. You can see the city like a bird from the top of the hill with the water of the mountain spring flowing at a high speed.

Amazingly huge idol of Vishnu carved in the most artistic way. One must visit this place and appreciate the craftsmanship. As we reached late evening, there was no rush at all.So could get a good view of Lord Budhanilkanth.

A beautiful temple full of art and history. The statue of lord Bishnu sleeping on the snakes is just wow 😳. Good vibes 🌻❤️

Budhanilkanta is a holy Hindu temple located in Budhanilkantha, Bagmati, Nepal, where the sculpture of lying Lord Vishnu in the middle of the sacred pond. The temple is situated in the northern part of Kathmandu Valley and just below the Shivapuri Hill. The status of Lord Vishnu of this temple is considered as one of the largest and decorated stone carving in Nepal. HISTORY OF BUDHANILKANTHA The word Budhanilkantha is driven from Sanskrit, which means “Old Blue Throat” that started with Lord Shiva drinking the poisonous water to save the world. This temple is also called as the Narayanthan Temple by the people of Nepal. This temple was built to symbolize Lord Vishnu as one of the ‘Trimurtis’ along with Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva. Some evidence of the temple says that it was build during the 7th century under the rule of Licchavi king Bhimarjuna Dev. It is believed that no kings of Nepal since the King Pratap Malla had ever visited that temple, and it is said that if kings visited the temple, they would die. Many scientists and archaeologists tried to examine the status of what it is made of and to verify the floating nature of the sculpture. But no investigations are allowed in religious areas. However, some test doubt that the status was made of silica that helps the status to float on water./

It is very rare temple where we can see Vishnu Bhagawan & Shiva Bhagawan. Statue looks like it is floating in water. Great spiritual experience. I think it's unique statue where god is in sleeping position. If you HAVE luck then you can see Bhagawan Shiva also in water.

ॐ महागणाधिपत्तये नमो नमः 🌺 It's a very gorgeous heart pounding religious place for the Family tour as well as spiritually chilling place; which is situated at the heart of the Buddhanilkantha, Narayansthan of the Kathmandu, and which also carries a history & a very strong belief of Hindus. Where, we can see the preserver/operator of the World (the Lord Bishnu/Narayan) sleeping over the Shesha Naag on the Pious pond. In short, it's the place in Kathmandu city which one should visit once in a lifetime. ॐ महालक्ष्मीनारायणाय नमो नमः 🌺🌸🪻🌷🙏

Must visited place Except Domestic tourist all visitors need to pay entrance fee which is reasonable. you will enjoy vehicle free zone

Very Nice

Holy place to roam around, full of temples and newari foods also available in every corner. Temples are full of artistic sculptures and monuments.

The whole complex is also known as Kathmandu Durbar Square. Most of them are built in the pagoda style embellished with intricately carved exteriors as well as most of the buildings we see here date from 15th to 18th century . The entrance fee for SAARC and BIMESTIC is NPR 500 and for other foreigners it is NPR 1000.

My tour guide Krishna ram Pradhan is the best he is very friendly and caring he took pictures of me many times . He explained everything to me. I really enjoyed the tour. The place is amazing and you must visit it when you’re in Kathmandu. It’s full of history and culture. Make sure to come in the morning to enjoy the view. It took us almost 3 hours to see everything in the square. After that we went to lunch in a good restaurant with amazing view. We tried their traditional food. To book the guide just ask when you book the ticket. He is certified by the government. Don’t took anyone from the street. The experience is better with Krishna. He helped me to stamp my ticket for another day so I don’t pay twice . Thanks

👍🙏🙏peaceful tourism area🙏🙏🙏

The architecture, temples, hotels, restaurants, street markets, and all other stuffs in this place are really amazing. The rich culture and history overflowing from this place makes me proud to be a Nepali!!

It's one of most beautiful and peaceful for your eye view there is so huge crowd I recommend you at least once time visit believe me you definitely love it😊❤️👌

Great place to visit. Also a world heritage site. Most people visit here in daytime so other time would mean less crowd however due to its location being in a popular place (basantapur) there's lots of crowd outside the Durbar square. Lots of young people come to enjoy their time here so be prepared to witness modern trends. However this place is a stunning piece of history & culture. 👌😌

This was spectacular, people who love a bit of history and want to explore how people, kings and kingdoms were, this is one place to explore. Some antiques, way of building places are shown and displayed here. Must visit

It's a feeling when you enter into museum. You see the actual king size room and king size bed too 🤩, private office of king and queen 👑.How these royal families were spending their life. When you enter into the mansion you start imagining the lifestyle of these royal members. It's interesting to know that the mansion was designed by king himself. You can see the car collection of this royal family members. Bcoz of the security reasons camera is not allowed in the campus. You have to submit your bag, phones and camera at the cloak room.

The Narayanhiti Palace Museum is a public museum in Kathmandu, Nepal located east of the Kaiser Mahal and next to Thamel. The museum was created in 2008 from the complex of the former Narayanhiti Palace following the 2006 revolution

Historic Royal Palace and now one of the best museums in Nepal. Worth the visit and time. It takes at least 2-3 hours to enjoy every bit of the palace.

Aswome experience to learn about past. Everything was well managed except few things outside Palace. As the Instructions were unclear about one can't again go back to rewatch previous places caused me to miss some places. So I advise visitors to carefully visit every place before going ahead. Other than this I strongly recommend to visit this historic Palace.

This is the palace of the last King of Nepal. Huge area in the middle of Kathmandu city. Entry fee for Indian Guest is NPR 500. They don’t accept Indian currency. So you need Nepali Rupee for entering this palace. They don’t allow bags and mobiles. They provide free locker facility. They have dry clean toilets inside and outside. Car parking is also available for tourists. Be prepared to walk as it takes min of 30-45 min inside to see all places. They have a huge collection of old cars used by the King. They have a golden chariot also which is kept in display and all are well maintained. Sad to hear about the massacre of the last King Birendra and his family members. Worth visiting this place. Please ensure to carry Nepali rupee for entrance. Please ensure to carry a mask as it is mandatory to enter this place

The Narayanhiti Palace Museum is located in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was the former royal palace and has been converted into a museum, showcasing artifacts and exhibits related to the country's monarchy.

Narayanhiti Palace, or Narayanhiti Durbar (Nepali: नारायणहिटी दरवार) is a palace in Kathmandu, which long served as the residence and principal workplace of the reigning Monarch of the Kingdom of Nepal. Located in the capital city of Kathmandu, the palace was the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. The palace complex is located towards east of the Kaiser Mahal next to Thamel, and is incorporated in an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The current Narayanhiti Durbar was built by King Mahendra in 1963. The name, ''Narayanhiti'' is made up of two words ‘Narayana’ and ‘Hiti’. Narayan is the Hindu god Vishnu, whose temple is located opposite to the palace. ‘Hiti’ means “water spout” in Newar Language, which is also located to the east of main entrance in the precincts of the palace, a landmark that features prominently in local legends. First houses on the site During the early Shah period, the site of the future Narayanhiti Palace was occupied by family of shreepali basnet Kaji Dhokal Singh Basnet house. Ownership of the site changed hands many times;after Dhokal singh Basnyat the site was occupied by Chautariya Fateh Jung Shah (6th Prime Minister of Nepal), his father courtier Choutaria Pran Shah and family. During Kot massacre of 19 September 1846 both Prime Minister Chautariya Fateh Jang Shah along with his father Choutaria Pran Shah and brothers were killed or send in exile out of Kathmandu. After this massacre Narayanhiti Palace was taken over by Jung Bahadur Rana's brother future Prime Minister then colonel Ranodip Singh Kunwar. Colonel Ranodip Singh ordered minor renovation of the old palace of Choutaria Pran Shah and used it as his private residence. After ascending the throne of Prime Minister Maharaja in 1877, Narayanhit Durbar was again renovated, but this time much lavish and was extended into multi-wing palace On 22 November 1885 during a coup d'état Prime Minister Maharaja Ranodip Singh Kunwar was assassinated by his nephews, the Sumsher brothers(Khadga Shumsher, Chandra Shumsher, and Dumber Shumsher) somewhere in the southern wing of this palace.

Well, Narayangiti Palace Museum is a public museum which is located in the city of Kaiser Mahal (Kathmandu). The museum was created in 2008 from the complex of the former Narayanhiti Palace (Durbar). The palace was the residence and principal workplace of the Monarch of the Kingdom of Nepal before the revolution. It is undeniable that the palace is really attractive and peaceful. It was previously built by King Mahendra in 1963 and was designed with help of American architect Benjamin Polk. Personally, I visited this palace with my friends. The place is really amusing. First of all, the palace is really huge and it has lot's of beautiful gardens and parks. In overall, I suggest people to visit this palace. 🙏

This Historic palace is quite interesting it gave me some glimpse about the history of Nepal royal family, their culture and lifestyle, entry fees is Nepali rs 500 You can't carry camera inside the palace The only thing you can do is to walk 👣peacefully read all the instructions written on board or wall because there is no guide to tell you any details about the palace. And if you ask any questions to the staffs inside palace they will not give sufficient information may be they don't know hindi Or english but you will understand the basic by reading boards. I was shocked to see the place of Royal👑 Family massacre, still you can see bullets marks on walls. It took around 2 hrs for me to complete my tour inside the museum and i was amazed by seen the painting of royal family on walls it was so beautiful, and i will keep this memories within my heart💕 always.

An interesting step back in time. It feels like everything is in the 1950's. It is sad to see the assignation of the king, queen and others of Royal Family. I feel ignorant not knowing it occurred in 2001. No cameras and mobile phones are allowed and you must check bags on entry. Entry fee is 1000 NR.

Be prepare to walk for 1-2 hrs. Umbrella allowed. No mobile phones and camera allowed inside museum. Need to keep mobile and bags in safety counter before entering. Parking available. Request for museum info brochure in ticket counter.

The Palace, turned into museum, where one of the most horrendous incidents for a Royal family's occurred in 2001, and that was the beginning of the end of monarchy in Nepal. The security in the place is very tight, though it is absolutely unclear as to why it should be in this way. This Palace is no longer a seat of a regning monarch and no official government body is based there. It is simply an old building wotlrthy of visit. Getting the mobile phone and camera along with all the personal belongings before entering the Palace is too much for this time and age. The fee is 1000 Ruppee for foreigners. The place is well marked but can be extremely crowded, to the point that if you are claustrophobic, you will find it difficult to proceed. When I visited, there was a very big group of school kids, really really big, well over a thousand kids who were just being taken along with the tourists. It was not very comfortable though the place was very nice. You can see the area of the Palace where the massacre took place. It is being reconstructed since that section was razed to the ground after the incident.

One of the most important museums in Nepal, and here are few suggestion, while visiting this particular place 1. Take a paper and pencil with you, or a notebook to write some notes and observation. 2. They do not allow you to take your cell phones or iPads with you, so no pictures allowed 3. This is a huge place requires a lot of walking, unfortunately, that are not ramps if you are planning to go on the wheelchairs. 4. Description and caption of the places but, buildings and statues are not enough in English that I know description however, if you ask the security guards all the staff members they can describe or explain you about the display. 5. Not recommended to purchase tickets online because the online system is super boring. Prepare to stand up in the lines for about 20 minutes and go with the local currencies since they are not excepting any foreign currency.

Very nice place. The cable car is the main attraction here. Mind blowing views and it was a 15 mins swinging ride that will give you a life time experience. On the top of the mountain you have Zip ride, temple, restaurants and shops to relax and rejuvenate yourself. Good place to capture photographs with excellent backdrops of mountain and mother nature. Overall worth visiting and not to miss tourist attraction when you visit Kathmandu...

Great place with amazing ambience, amazing view... Also, food here was really very good.. hotel service was commendable. Infinity pool and jacuzzi is also available. Outdoor games like Batminton, Foosball table are available. Only thing missing was bathrobe else overall experience was amazing and highly recommend this place for short gateway trip.

A surreal experience, it’s good place to visit once while in Kathmandu. However, I will not recommend to pay fifty rupees extra to go the view tower while the view remain same. It’s crowded place so better to start early as opening hour is 8:00 am local time. Locals and senior citizens above 65 get 25% discount while people above 80 years of old gets free admission. Cheers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chandragiri Hill is a must-visit gem in Kathmandu! The breathtaking panoramic views are simply astounding. The serene temples add a spiritual touch to the experience. The food options were delightful, and the cable car ride was an absolute highlight. A perfect blend of nature, spirituality, and adventure awaits here. Highly recommended!

Place is awesome! But the cable cars has to be cleaned and the glass on it has to be transparent, nothing looks from inside the car, and we have to make adventure to have a beautiful view. And they have to consider the groups, like friends, family or even couple to travel at a time. They will just dump random. Which apparently makes uneasy trip.

Very nice place.👌with amazing views point ⛰⛰The cable car is the main attraction here.😍 Mind blowing views and it was a 15 mins swinging ride that will give you a life time experience.

There were many devotees who were in a line waiting for their turn to worship lord Durga mata(Goddess).we were in the line too the line was well organized the line went smoothly and finally after 1 hours we get a chance to worship Gurga mata. After worshiping we were starving so we went near by restaurant there are many restaurants there with delicious food. We enjoyed selroti and Tarkari which is very famous there.
