Some of the sights worth seeing are Kal Bhairav, Hanuman Dhoka, Taleju Temple, Kasthamandap and Kumari Ghar, the last of which is home to the living goddess Kumari. Afterwards, visit Swayambhunath, the famous stupa perched on top of a hill in the west of the city that is said to be one of the oldest Buddhist stupas in the world.

Proceed to the Pashupatinath Temple, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. This massive temple complex sits on the banks of the Bagmati River. Only Hindus are allowed to enter into the temple premises, whereas tourists can see the temple from the eastern side of the Bagmati River.
