Some of the stories that you hear mingle gods and goddesses with human-beings. To the tourists, Kathmandu is wild because people are crossing the streets from everywhere, but what you see in Kathmandu is pretty entertaining.

Kathmandu itself is one of the prominent valleys of Asia, which has impressive temples, including busy trading areas and of course, palaces, courtyards, and ponds. Most of the time, Kathmandu has perfect weather, and its area called Thamel has a unique atmosphere for the tourists in terms of restaurants, bars, hotels, and food. Sometimes, these tourists might call the human activities that they see in Kathmandu or in other parts of Nepal as crazy, but that is how Kathmandu goes, and that is also the reason why Kathmandu tour becomes a memorable tour for you. As a tourist, you will always be satisfied with the heritages of Kathmandu, and all these heritages are UNESCO WORLD HERITAGES.

According to the geographers and myth, Kathmandu was a lake, but what the myth says is there were lotuses floating in this lake, and Boodhsattiva Manjushree saw a flame coming out of lotus that seemed to be planted on a hill. He wanted to have a closer look, so with a strike from his sword of wisdom, he cut a gorge, and the water from this lake drained out to form what is known today as Kathmandu.

The following are a few information about the sites:

1. Kathmandu Durbar s Square

Kathmandu durbar square is believed to be built by Lichhavi kings in around the 3rd century. Situated in front of the royal palace, this square is among the three squares of the valley. This durbar square is famous for the architect and the skills carved by the newar artist and craftsmen. The square is surrounded by quadrangles, revealing courtyards and temples. It is also known as Hanuman Dhoka Durbar square named after Hanuman- a devotee of king ram.
