Muktinath Temple
The Muktinath temple is situated in the trans-Himalayan region of Nepal and the best part is you reach the temple in a helicopter. It lies at the foot of the snowy mountains with an altitude of 3,800 m. This is a renowned place of worship for Hindus and Buddhists. Khetra Mukthi, where Muktinath is situated, is referred to in the Hindu Scriptures as Ramayana, Barah Purana, and Skanda Purana. The temple devoted to Lord Vishnu is simple in architecture and built on the same design as the pagoda. It is believed to have been built at the beginning of the 19th century. There is a perpetual blue flame lit up in the sanctum. Nearby are 108 sacred waterspouts (springs) where pilgrims perform ritual baths. Muktinath is situated en route to the Annapurna Circuit trek, one of the world’s most well-known treks.
Pashupatinath Temple
Pashupatinath Temple is a magnificent and holy Hindu temple complex in Nepal. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it holds up religious sentiments massively and attracts pilgrims worldwide. The temple's architecture and rituals have been prevalent for decades. On the downside, the temple runs along the holy Bagmati River. It is a place where Hindu funeral ceremonies are held. Aarti ritual in the Pashupati Bagmati is one of the most intriguing events to take place at this place of worship.
Boudhanath Stupa
Boudhanath is one of the major Tibetan Buddhist stupas outside Tibet and is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. The monument is believed to date back to the 14th century. Pilgrims circle the stupa clockwise as they spin the mantra wheel and chant the holy words. The story says that the king built the place of expiation because of his unintentional murder of his father. The Mughal invaders of the 14th century razed the first stupa to the ground. Hence, the present-day stupa is a new construction.
Budhanilkantha Temple
To the north of Kathmandu's city centre lies a striking Hindu temple called Budhanilkantha. The site is dedicated to Vishnu (Narayan), whose figure is floating on the sea of bliss, resting on Shesha, the multi-headed snake. It’s believed the 16-foot (5-metre) long sculpture, carved from one block of basalt, dates back to the 6th century and was made by King Vishnugupta, the early king of the Kathmandu Valley. The temple is a religious centre for many devotees, who visit it yearly, especially on Haribondhini Ekadashi. It is the biggest stone statue in Nepal.
Swayambhunath
Swayambhunath is called the Monkey Temple. It is another renowned religious site on a hill west of Kathmandu Valley. The stupa and its nearer shrines are thought to have been built about 2000 years ago. Traditionally dated back to 460 A.D., King Manadeva constructed it, and it became the major Buddhist centre in the 13th century. A legend has it that the Swayambhu came into existence along with the same lake that once spread in the Kathmandu valley. A ginormous statue of Sakyamuni Buddha stands on a higher pedestal west of Swayambhu and right next to the Ring Road. The temple at the back of the hill is dedicated to Manjusri or Saraswati, the Goddess of learning.
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square, also known as Basantapur Durbar and Hanuman Dhoka, is a historical royal palace square at the heart of Kathmandu metropolis. Basantapur is still a fantastic place to look, with its extraordinary wood carvings and deep-rooted history in the heart of the old Kathmandu town. The temple was constructed during the Licchavi era (4th to 8th century AD). Among the fifty temples surrounding these temples, there is the temple of the main deity called Taleju Bhawani in Nepali. The Durbar complex is comprised of two courts – the outer one consisting of Kasthamandap, Kumari Ghar, and Shiva-Parvati temple and the inner section including Hanuman Dhoka and the main palace. Some floors here have been changed to museums of three generations of Shah monarchs of Nepal.
Dakshinkali Temple
The Dakshinkali Temple is situated only a kilometre far from the village of Pharping. It is considered the most important temple in Nepal and is devoted to the ferocious and feared Goddess Kali. This temple is famous for its rituals and traditions. The animal sacrifice occurs here twice a week - mainly male uncastrated goats and roosters. That is done to satisfy Lord Shiva's ruthless spouse. The Dakshinkali Temple derives its name from Dakshin, which stands for "south," and Kali, the deity worshipped in this temple. The idol of the Goddess is shown as standing on top of a corpse, showing the victory of good over evil.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Bhaktapur, about 20 km east of the Kathmandu Valley, is well known through different nicknames like "City of Devotee," "City of Culture," "Living Heritage," and "Nepal's Cultural Treasure."

The area is known as "Layaku" in the local Newari dialect. The temples, shrines, sculptures, and historical heritage sites built in different periods reflect the city's identity. Highlights of Nepalese ancient art consist of the Golden Gate, 55 Window Temple, the Statue of Bhupatindra Malla, the Museum, and the Krishna Temple.
Doleshwar Mahadev Temple
The Doleshwar Mahadev Temple is located in Bhaktapur, nearly 20 kilometres from Kathmandu's capital. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is considered to be as old as 4000 years. Doleshwar Mahadev, Pashupatinath, and Kedarnath are among the sacred pilgrimage sites in Hinduism. Devotees believe in visiting these places to get rid of their sins and become closer to Shiva. The temple has attained fame in recent years owing to its relation with the Kedarnath Temple. This relationship has increased the number of pilgrims and interest in the temple.
Nagarkot
Nagarkot, a hill station, is located at a distance of 32 km towards the east of Kathmandu Valley. Nagarkot is famous for its view of the Himalayas across the entire valley, which is composed of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Jugal, Rolwaling, Mahalangur (Everest), and Numbur.
