KATHMANDU VALLEY
 The
Kathmandu Valley, the political, commercial and cultural hub of Nepal,
is the first stop for the majority of visitors to the country.
Originally known as the Nepal Valley and a separate kingdom in itself,
it contains three fabled cities, each an artistic exposition of graceful
temples, elegant palaces, brick- paved courtyards and quaint streets.
BOUDHANATH STUPA
Bouddhanath Stupa lies about six km to the east of downtown Kathmandu
and is the largest stupa in the Valley. It looms 36 meters high and
presents one of the most fascinating specimens of stupa design.
Bouddhanath, a World Heritage Site, is also known as Khasti, or dew
drops, after an account that builders had to use dew to mix the mortar
as Kathmandu was suffering from a severe drought during its
construction.
PATAN CITY & DURBAR SQUARE
 Patan
city, one of the three queen cities-the other two being Kathmandu city
and Bhaktapur. Patan city is the city of fine arts. Places of interest
here are the Durbar square, Krishna Mandir, Mahavihar - Golden Temple of
Lord Buddha built in the 12th century, the octagonal tower of Taleju
Bhawani Temple, structures of Bhimsen Temple, Viswanath Temple, Chyasin
Dega and Mahabauddha dedicated to Lord Buddha, Hiranya Varna Mahavihar
known as “golden temple”, the three storied golden pagoda of Lokeshwor
(lord buddha), Rudra Varna Mahavihar, a unique Buddhist monastery, the
Tibetan Centre, etc.
SWAYAMBHUNATH STUPA
 Watches
over the Valley from the top of a hillock on its western side. The huge
stupa is one of the holiest Buddhists sites in Nepal and its
establishment is linked to the creation of the Kathmandu Valley out of a
primordial lake. Swayambhu is also known as Samhengu. The National
Museum and the Museum of Natural History are situated at the foot of the
hill.
BUDHANILKANTHA
 Is
situated below Shivapuri hill at the northern end of the Valley. It is
about 9 kms from the city center. The hub of the temple complex is a
pond in which lies a great stone figure of the Hindu god Bishnu
reclining on the coils of a cosmic serpent. It is also known as Bhuijasi.
PASHUPATINATH TEMPLE
 One
of the most sacred Hindu shrines in the world, Pashupatinath lies five
km east of the city center. The richly-ornamented pagoda houses the
sacred linga, or phallic symbol, of Lord Shiva. Chronicles indicate the
temple's existence prior to 400 AD. Devotees can be seen taking ritual
dips in the holy Bagmati river flowing beside the temple.
CHANGU NARAYAN TEMPLE
Is situated on a ridge overlooking the Valley, about 12 km to the
east of the city. It is dedicated to the Hindu god Bishnu. One of the
finest and oldest specimens of pagoda architecture, the temple is
embellished with exquisite wood and stone carvings.
KATHMANDU DURBAR SQUARE
 This
complex of palaces, courtyards and temples, built between the 12th and
18th centuries, used to be the seat of the ancient Malla kings of
Kathmandu. An intriguing piece here is the 17th- century stone
inscription set into the wall of the palace with writings in 15
languages. The Durbar Square is the social, religious and urban focal
point of the city. There are also three museums inside the palace
building.
BHAKTAPUR DURBAR SQUARE
 As
you walk in, you cannot but be overcome by a feeling of inner harmony.
Such is the art and architecture and the spatial layout here.
Bhaktapur also known as Bhadgaon is a home to
medieval art and architecture and was the site for Burtoluchhi’s "Little
Buddha". The urban city covers an area of 4 sq. miles & is shaped like a
conch-shell. Bhaktapur means the ‘city of devotees’ and pottery &
weaving are its traditional industries. The major sights of Bhaktapur
include Durbar square, the main square, lion gate, statue of King
Bhupatindra Malla, temple of Bansi Narayan, the National Art Gallery,
the Golden Gate, Palace of 55 Windows, Batsala Temple and the Naytapola
temple which stands on a five-terraced platform is the tallest pagoda in
the valley and is famous for its massive structure and subtle
workmanship. Near the Dattatreya Temple is a monastery, which now houses
the woodcarving museum.
POKHARA
 If
Kathmandu is the cultural hub of Nepal, then Pokhara is its center of
adventure. An enchanting city nestled in a tranquil valley (altitude 827
m), it is the starting point for many of Nepal's most popular trekking
and rafting destinations. The atmosphere on the shores of Phewa Lake is
one of excited vitality as hipster backpackers crowd the many bars and
restaurants exchanging recommendations on guest houses and viewpoints,
both by the lake and above the clouds. Pokhara is a place of remarkable
natural beauty. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the
fish-tailed summit of Machhapuchhre (6,977 m) rising behind it create an
ambiance of peace and magic.
LUMBINI
 Lumbini
is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha where the apostle of peace,
compassion, non-violence and universal brotherhood was born in 624 B.C.
It is the most sacred place of Buddhism and lies in the Terai about 250
km south west of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Exploration and
excavation of the surroundings area revealed the existence of a brick
and sandstone sculpture within the temple itself, which depict the
scenes of Buddha Birth.
Very recently, several Buddhist countries have built several
beautiful shrines in Lumbini. An international committee has also been
set up for the development of this sacred historical place. Visit to
Lumbini, is not only for spiritual enlightenment but also for solace and
satisfaction that one normally gets in a calm and peaceful place like
it.
KAPILVASTU
 About
twenty-five hundred and some years ago, Kapilvastu was a small republic
situated beneath the Churia or Shiwalik range of the foothills of the
Himalayas. The first description of Kapilvastu is by the Chinese
historian and pilgrim, Fa-hien who visited Lumbini and Kapilvastu in
403. A.D. When he reached the site, the city was marked by desolate
ruins and mounds. A few monks and common people lived there. Excavation
of Kapilvastu and the surroundings was started from 1899 and Kapilvastu
was located in 1901. Proper excavations were conducted in 1967 and
onward by the department of archaeology, His Majesty’s Government (HMG).
More important details are yet to be revealed after further excavations.
Kapilvastu is an important native place of Buddha where he spent his
first 29 years of
life. Kapilvastu is associated with several incidents of his life such
as: meeting the sick person, meditation of Saint Asit, competition with
Shakya youth, shooting of an arrow to cause the spring of water to gush
out and so on. When Buddha got enlightenment in Bodhgaya at this place
500 Shakyas and 8 princes adopted Buddhism. At this place he preached
his father and Son Rahul also.

personal deity of the nobles and upper class that is worshipped once a
year at least. Kali - The Black One is fearsome and is believed to be
the most powerful of all Hindu deities. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the
best time to witness devotees worshipping the Goddess so that they are
bestowed with blessing and gifts and even absolvement of sins. On the

Buddhist shrines of Shikhar Narayan Mandir, Vajra Yogini
and Tibetan monasteries with images of Guru Rinpoche. Chobar

 Another
vantage point to view the central and western Himalaya is Kakani
