Doleshwor Mahadeva Temple, in the Suryabinayak Municipality, is the Head Part of Kedarnath Temple, in Uttarakhand, India. The temple is dedicated to Doleshwor Mahadeva and is a must-visit for any pilgrims visiting Nepal. An hour and a half of driving from Kathmandu will take us to the holy temple.

It's believed to be oldest Sri Narayana temple. As per the guide explanation, Lord Vishnu used to come and pluck the flowers to worship his mother, One day locals caught him and tied him to a pillar. After some time Lord Vishnu mother came in search of Sri Lord Vishnu, after knowing about it locals pegged for pardon and requested Sri Lord Vishnu to be there and they will build temple, worship him. For this Sri Lord Vishnu accepted and locals built the temple. That's the short story about Chagu Naraya temple, one of the oldest poweful temple in Nepal

There are more than one Durbar Squares in Kathmandu Valley Nepal: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan - all three (3) of these Squares have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage sites. Bhaktapur is about 45 minute drive from Kathmandu city, and the Durbar Square in Bhaktapur (population 107,000) appears to be less crowded with tourists than the one in Kathmandu city (population 1.4 million). When we had visited Bhaktapur Durbar Square in November 2019, there was not much visible evidence of physical damage due to the 2015 earthquake to the structures when compared to Kathmandu - either the earthquake was less severe in Bhaktapur or the restoration work was completed faster here. The architecture here at Bhaktapur Durbar Square is typical ancient Nepal style with several notable structures in and around the Square area: Shiva Kedarnath temple, National Art Museum, Nyatapola Temple, Siddhi Laxmi Temple, Gopinath Krishna Temple and more. In addition to the Temples, there is the colorful "back streets" just off the square that have interesting shops to look at including a "Nepal Gurkha Knife" shop containing a variety of different styles - Interesting! It was well worth the drive to come visit Bhaktapur from the big city of Kathmandu.

The five-storeyed Nyatapola is the tallest pagoda-style temple and is standing tall, surviving numerous disasters to showcase and as proof of the magnificent architecture of ancient Nepal.

Include this on your walking tour of Bhaktapur. The walk from Durbar Square is interesting with many historic features to look at. There is a large water tank by the square, some beautiful wood carvings and of course the main and secondary temple. We did not have time to visit the wood carving museum also on the square. We enjoyed watching it all from the first floor of the square’s main cafe with it’s open balcony which served us good tea and coffee.
