- Melissa MKuala Lumpur, Malaysia59 contributionsKathmandu Durbar Square is a must-visit for history lovers. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is filled with stunning temples, palaces, and statues, all showcasing the amazing craftsmanship of the Newar artists. Walking through the square feels like stepping back in time, with each building telling its own story.
From the grand Hanuman Dhoka Palace to the impressive Taleju Temple, every corner of the square is filled with history. The lively atmosphere, with locals and visitors enjoying the sights, makes it even more special. It's the perfect place to experience Nepal's rich culture and heritage.Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was subsequently taken over by the government but fell into disrepair until the Austrian government sponsored renewal of the gardens early in the 21st century. The redesign was pioneered by a German architect Gotz Hagmuller who also still owns the Milla Guest House in Bhaktapur (where we stayed).
It is now around half its original size and there is a small museum that contains photos illustrating its original layout. The gardens themselves are immaculate and there is a café, Kaiser Cafe, named after the original owner that looks out over the garden. You do need to pay the entrance fee to gain access to this.
It provides welcome respite from the frenetic activity outside the tall walls that surround the garden.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fiona SBoston, MA478 contributionsThis is beautiful complex with breath-taking views is purportedly built on the site where the Buddha (in a pre-Buddha life) lay down his life under a tree for a starving tigress - and the tree is still there.
The large monastery itself is relatively new and well-funded. You arrive at a lower level with about a 1-2 block street (a few restaurants available for lunch - our delicious vegetable daal-bhat was about $3 US per person) and a small shrine. From there you take the stairs through a wooded area up to the shrine for the Buddha under a tree. From there you can wander. Be sure to visit the prayer hall.
For logistics: you can drive to this monastery but we managed to find a guide who took us on a walking tour and up into the hills (see my review of Bhaktapur Tour Guide). Separate from our walking tour in Bhaktapur, we hired Roshan to take us on a day trip to a few locations including a 4-hour walk up to and around Namo Buddha.Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was making my first ever visit to Nepal eight years after the quakes yet evidence of that terrible day still lay everywhere I went.
Building after building from humble homes to palaces are still being held up and braced by baulks of wood or steel girders.
Everywhere you go there is scaffolding for the ongoing colossal task of rebuilding ancient and modern structures.
Take just a few steps off the main street and the quakes might have been eight weeks ago rather than eight years with heaps of rubble, stacks of carved timbers and piles of material from collapsed buildings occupying almost every bit of available back street space.
It is a credit to the people of Nepal that they have somehow managed to restore so much of their wrecked history, but there is so much more still to do and I believe it will be a generation, perhaps two, before an end to restoration may be sight.
So my guide justifiably had an air of pride in his voice as he showed me round this palace, that courtyard and neat squares of buildings with that sheen of restoration newness about them.
The architecture is stunning and heaven only knows what it must have looked like in its pristine prime.
I paid 1,000 rupees for my entry into the changing face of Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square which I found fascinating.
People waited reverently to get a glimpse of Kumari, the living goddess of Nepal, who appears briefly in a window at a set time.
Palaces and temples also drain your time away and, before you know it, it is time to move on.
Don't miss a chance to visit this intriguing place which offers a rich past, displays a devastated present and hints at a Phoenix-like future. It will leave you with shaken feelings at man's works put in their place by powerful Nature.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Locals were noted offering their prayers and flowers to Vishnu.
There are several bells that locals ring for good luck as they pass by. Also noted are lighted candles. Took some pictures before leaving. No entrance fee at this attraction.Written 31 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The belief in a Kumari is the tradition of worshipping a virgin girl as the living embodiment of a goddess. Many locals visit in the hope that they will view the goddess. I only stayed for 5 minutes in the courtyard and sadly didn’t get a glimpse.Written 23 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rama1Melbourne, Australia1,193 contributionsTo an outsider, this temple is a bit confusing.
It was great to see the locals going about their daily life.
Well worth a visit.Written 30 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is closed on Wednesdays and all public holidays. The timings are also very short. Around 10 am to 2 pm. Entry fee applies to everyone except Nepali senior citizens. If we use Indian currency, there is a chance we may get shortchanged. Happens everywhere. Better to use Nepali currency. There is a locker where we have to deposit all of our stuff including mobiles. Only wallets and water bottles are allowed. The washrooms are cleanly maintained. There is a defined pathway which will lead through the entire viewable area of the palace. As expected, we are not supposed to touch anything. Apart from the palace, we get to see the royal massacre site as well as the garden, royal plane, helicopter, cars and a bungalow. Seeing everything properly will take 2 to 3 hours.Written 4 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
