  Kathmandu City,Durbar Square :
  Kathmandu Durbar Square in the heart of old Kathmandu city in Basantapur never fails to impress first time visitors with its intricate wood carvings and rich history. Surrounded by concrete buildings, the complex is an oasis in a fast developing, chaotic modern city. Once the residence of Nepal’s Royal family, all coronation ceremonies were held here. The palace is an amalgamation of eastern and western architecture with additions by Rana and Shah Rulers over the centuries. An unbelievable 50 temples lie within the vicinity including the temple of the titular deity, Taleju Bhawani. The Durbar is divided into two courtyards, the outer Kasthamandap, Kumari Ghar, and Shiva-Parvati Temple, and the inner section consisting of Hanuman Dhoka and the main palace. Some floors have been converted to museums dedicated to three generations of Shah kings. Most parts of the palace premises are open to tourists throughout the week.
  
  Some important monuments to see in this area are:
  The Taleju Temple is the tallest of all structures, built by King Mahendra Malla in 1549 AD. This temple is open to the public for one day each year during the Dashain festival.
  The Jagannath Temple, built in the 16th century is known for the fascinating erotic figures carved on the wooden struts.
  The Kal Bhairav, one of the largest 17th century stone statues in Kathmandu, representing the terrifying aspect of Lord Shiva.
  Swet-Bhairav – the temple is open to the public once in year during Indra Jatra Festival.
  The 17th century Kumari Temple (the temple of Living Goddess) is an example of highly developed Nepali craftmanship.
  Kaandasthamp, from which Kathmandu derives its name, is said to have been built from the timber of a single tree.N autalle Durbar (the nine storied palace)
  
  Swoyambhunath :
  Swoyambhu literally means ‘Self-Existent One.’ Swoyambhunath is believed to have been established more than 2,500 years ago. According to translations from an inscription dating back to 460 A.D., it was built by King Manadeva and by the 13th century, Swoyambhunath had developed into an important center of Buddhism.
  Legend has it that Swoyambhu was born out of a lotus flower that bloomed in the middle of the lake which the Kathmandu valley once was. The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal was recently built on the western boundary of Swoyambhu. Behind the hilltop is a temple dedicated to Manjusri or Saraswati – the Goddess of learning. Chaityas, statues and shrines of Buddhist and Hindu deities fill the stupa complex. The base of the hill is almost entirely surrounded by prayer wheels that were recently installed. Devotees can be seen circumambulating the stupa at all times.
  The stupa sits atop the hill and the exceedingly steep stone steps leading up to the shrine is quite a challenge. However there is also a road going up almost to the top and you can drive up. A large numbers of Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swoyambhunath throughout the day. Swoyambhu is perhaps the best place to observe religious harmony in Nepal.
  
  Some important monuments to see in this area:
  The huge gold plated Vajra ‘thunderbolt’ set in the east side of the stupa.
  Buddha statue on the west side of Swoyambhu.
  The sleeping Buddha.
  The temple dedicated to Harati, the goddess of all children. It is said that she was an ogress before Lord Buddha converted her to be the caretaker of all children.
  The Dewa Dharma Monastery, noted for a bronze icon of Buddha and traditional Tibetan paintings.
  
  Patan City, Patan Durbar Square:
  Patan Durbar Square complex is perhaps the most photographed of the three durbar squares. Located in the heart of Patan city, this was once the palace of the kings of Patan. The square is a display of Newari architecture that had reached its pinnacle during the reign of Malla kings who were great builders and patrons of the arts. The palace has three main courtyards: the central and the oldest is Mul Chowk. To the west of the complex are a dozen free standing temples of various sizes and built in different styles. A masterpiece in stone, the KrishnaTemple,BhimsenTemple, the Golden Temple of Hiranya Varna Mahavira and Sundari Chowk mark the artistic brilliance of the Newar craftsment of that era. The Sundari Chowk with the sunken bath of Tusha Hiti, showcases exquisite woodcarvings, stone and metal sculpture. Like the other palaces,Patan Durbar Squarealso houses a temple dedicated to Taleju Bhawani.
  
  Some important monuments to see in this area are:
  The Golden Gate and golden windows of the old palace
  The famous Krishna Temple with 21 golden pinnacles.
  The bath with many carvings in stone at Sundari Chowk.
  The Taleju Temple.
  The temple of Bhimsen with a magnificient golden balcony overlooking the square.
