This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense cultural, historical, and spiritual significance. The main structure of Swayambhunath is a stupa, a dome-shaped monument representing Buddhist architecture. The stupa is adorned with the iconic pair of eyes painted on each of its four sides, symbolizing the omnipresence of the Buddha and wisdom. Above the eyes is a golden spire with a pinnacle. One unique aspect of Swayambhunath is the presence of numerous monkeys, giving rise to its popular nickname, the Monkey Temple.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, l'antica piazza reale, è affollata di templi con tetti a pagoda e di palazzi, e nelle vicinanze vive la Kumari, la dea bambina vivente della città. Thamel, il quartiere dei viaggiatori, è un groviglio di vicoli che vendono attrezzatura da trekking, bandiere di preghiera e artigianato, animati da caffè e ristoranti sui tetti.
