World heritage site · Historic Site · Landmark

When in Kathmandu, don’t forget to pay a visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a World Heritage Site surrounded by historic buildings. Although the square has suffered extensive damage in the 2015 earthquake, many of the buildings remain standing and some will undergo refurbishments. Enjoy the traditional Nepalese architecture of the spacious square and get a feel for the Kathmandu city atmosphere. Admire the house of the Kumari, left unscathed in the earthquake, where the virgin goddess lives until reaching puberty. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of her passing by a window.

Located at centre of Kathmandu, and a cool place to visit, especially at night. The night life with a group of best friends and a local cup of tea makes it wonderful. Pretty crowded during the day, still a better place to have some delighting dishes.
