Patan Durbar Square is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and architectural marvels. It was once the royal palace complex of the Malla kings, who ruled over Patan. The square is surrounded by ancient temples, palaces, courtyards, and other structures that showcase the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic traditions of the Newar people. Boudhanath Stupa: Located in the northeast area of Kathmandu, Boudhanath Stupa is a famous and historic site that attracts numerous tourists. It holds great religious significance as a sacred place for Buddhists. A prominent feature of the stupa is a large statue of Lord Buddha's eye, similar to the Swayambhunath Temple. King Songstan Gampo of Tibet is credited with its construction. Boudhanath Stupa is a popular pilgrimage site known as the "Eyes of Buddha." Pashupatinath Temple: Situated near Boudha and easily accessible by transportation, Pashupatinath Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is one of Nepal's oldest Hindu temples, built during the era of the Lichhivi Kings.
