Kathmandu Durbar Square eller Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, pladsen foran det gamle kongelige palads i det daværende Kathmandu Kingdom. Det er en af tre Durbar (royal palace) kvadrater i Kathmandu Valley i Nepal, som alle er UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Det kongelige palads var oprindeligt på Dattaraya-pladsen og blev senere flyttet til Durbar-pladsen. Kathmandu Durbar Square besidder paladserne i Malla og Shah Kings, der hersker over byen. Sammen med disse paladser omgiver firkanten firkanter, der afslører gårde og templer. Det er kendt som Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, et navn afledt af en statue af Hanuman, den monkey hengivne af Lord Ram, ved indgangen til slottet.
Swayambhunath-templet, i dagligdagen kendt som "abe tempel" på grund af den store stamme af rovinge aber, der bevogter templet. Beliggende på toppen af en bakke, det giver en fantastisk udsigt over Kahmandu Valley. Det siges at have udviklet sig spontant, da dalen blev skabt ud af en primordial sø for mere end 2000 år siden. Stupaen er en af de ældste i denne del af verden, og dens tilbedere kommer fra forskellige etiske baggrunde. Stort bønhjul og fine buddhistiske malerier vises i klostrene, såvel som den største Buddha statue i landet. Efter at have besøgt templet, vil du blive slået fra i lufthavnen eller tilbage til dit hotel i Kathmandu.

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was very informative and wonderful. I highly recommend them and would do it again the next time I’m in Kathmandu.
It was a good tour, we liked that it was private and could change the tour to what we wanted. Our tour guide was very informative.
Thank you so much for the review. We look forward to serve you again.
We had a group of 13 people and we had a great experience on our tour! This is a great way to see Kathmandu from a local prospective.
A trip well worth the adventures ! ancient stupa and monuments showing the spread of Buddhism .The influence of Buddhism in the region is well shown by the existence of these religious structures.
Thank you
My guide's name was Bishnu, who is a Nepali national, and grew up in Kathmandu. The tour was separated into two parts: Durbar Square and Swayambunath Stupa. Bishnu picked me up in my hotel, and we started our way to Durbar, which was only about 20 mins away. The Durbar square unfortunately experienced a lot of destruction since the earthquake of 2015. Many of the old temples have been badly damaged. The Nepali government has only recently started making repairs. Bishnu told me of the history behind most of the monuments. Even though there were quite badly damaged, they were still quite beautiful. We walked throughout the square and saw all of the interesting architecture. There was a small museum setup to display some of the artifacts found during the excavation after the earthquake. We also saw the Kumari's palace, and Bishnu told me of the history. We then went off to see the Swayambunath temple. Although this is considered a Buddhist temple, there are several small temples dedicated to Hindu gods interspersed throughout the complex. The view from the top is simply spectacular. An almost 360 degree view of all of Kathmandu valley is visible. To reach the top, be prepared to climb up several flights of stairs. There are some nice souvenir shops at the top. I asked Bishnu to help me select a singing bowl, and he explained the differences between the cheap ones found in Thamel vs a handmade bowl. Overall I was very pleased, would highly recommend. Great way to get an overview of Nepali culture and history in one afternoon.
<p>This was an excellent way to see Kathmandu! As a solo traveler only in Kathmandu for 2 days, having a guided tour really helped me to make the most of the city in a short amount of time. My guide was really kind and knowledgeable and we had a driver that took us around to multiple locations in Kathmandu. Highly recommended.</p>
I was not able to make the time because of the flight delay (Pokhara->kathmandu). Moreover, I was not able to make any call becasue I did not apply for global roaming service. However, I sent an email in the airport and the agent contacted guide. so we were able to meet at the airport. During the tour, guide was really kind and he explained the tour nicely. The history of Nepal, and the current of its country. I will not hesitate to recomend this tour to others. Thanks to Mr. Bishnu Bhattara
Namaste Thank you so much for the review. Min Kc
I have traveled many time usually in the morning, i love visiting this place every time, its absolutely outstanding place t visit
<p>This is a tour for people who really want to learn about history, hidden gems/ places/statues/buildings of interest that are not so much visited by tourists because they just don't know the places exist. Professional, knowledgeble, fun and entertaining tour guide. Tell the guide ahead of time if you would like to climb all the steps on your way up the Swayambhunath Temple. There are many of them but the climb is very manageable unless it's a really hot day. If you choose to climb from the very bottom, you get to see a few artifacts more on your way up and of course the view is awesome. Your other choice is to be dropped off at another entry point, more than half-way up so much less climbing.</p>
<p>What an amazing city Kathmandu is. Frontier town still resonates with me, especially with the ravages of the 2014 earthquake, but the beauty still shines through. The highlight has to be a fleeting blessing from the Kumari goddess.</p>
