Kathmandu Durbar Square

Kathmandu Durbar Square is the ancient palace of the Nepalese Royalty. The complex has 50 temples and is distributed in two quadrangles of the Durbar Square. The preference for the construction of royal palaces at this site dates back to as early as the Licchavi period in the third century. Famous Kumari Ghar (Temple of the Living Goddess), Kashtamandap, which is constructed from the wood of a single tree, also lie within Kathmandu Durbar Square. It is declared as World Heritage site by UNESCO.

Swayambhunath

Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in parts of the temple. The Buddhist Stupa in Swayambhunath is said to be 2000 years old. Swayambhu means self-existed, so it is considered that the name Swayambhunath came from the eternal self-existence flame, over which a Stupa was built later. Although Swayambhunath is holy place for Buddhists, all the religions and cultural people visit this place with due respect. It is one of the crowning glories of Kathmandu Valley architecture. This perfectly proportioned monument rises through a whitewashed dome to a gilded spire, from where four iconic faces of the Buddha stare out across the valley in the cardinal directions.

Patan Durbar Square

Patan Durbar Square is situated at the center of the city of Lalitpur in Nepal. It is one of the three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One of its attractions is the ancient royal palace where the Malla Kings of Lalitpur resided. The Durbar Square is a marvel of Newar architecture. There are many temples and statues in the area. The main temples are aligned opposite of the western face of the palace. The entrance of the temples faces east, towards the palace. There is also a bell situated in the alignment beside the main temples. The Square also holds old Newari residential houses. There are other temples and structures in and around Patan Durbar Square built by the Newa People. A center of both Hinduism and Buddhism, Patan Durbar Square has 136 "bahals" (courtyards) and 55 major temples.
Temple construction in the square went into overdrive during the Malla period (14th to 18th centuries), particularly during the reign of King Siddhinarsingh Malla (1619–60). It's well worth at least a half-day trip from Kathmandu.
