Langtang Valley

Reviewed By 260luciev

We have made a 9 days trek combining Tamang and Langtang trail. We contacted directly our guide named Temba Tamang (owner of Me Very Happy Guesthouse) and arranged everything via email. It was a great experience with wonderful people. Booking directly with local people avoids that most of your money goes to agencies, everything we spent went directly to local people who definitely need it after the earthquake. Temba is a beautiful person who will share everything with you. Don't hesitate!

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

Kopan Monastery

Hundreds of monks and nuns live at this monastery, which offers meditation courses year round.

Reviewed By 403jennar - Winnipeg, Canada

We went to the monastery for when it first opened at 9:30 and stayed until around 11, and had a very memorable time circling the stupas and observing life at the monastery. Great view of Kathmandu from the cafe where you can sit outside and watch the monks go about their rituals and daily life. We took a taxi to get there and he waited until we were done at no extra charge, which is recommended as there were not taxis there waiting to pick people up.

Pashupatinath Temple

Reviewed By SFO_Drew - San Francisco, United States

This UN World Heritage site is literally a must-see for many Hindus, in order to gain spiritual fulfillment (along with Varanasi). If you cross the bridge behind the temple and climb the stairs, you will find a respectful viewing area to watch cremation ceremonies of the high-ranking deceased (there are other slabs further up the river for the common folks). But if you continue up the stairs, you will find rows of stupas that are quite pretty (you'll also frequently find sadhus here who will pose for pictures for money), and then a monkey road that leads down to a back gate exit. The grounds are quite large so you may wish to get a guide (such as Pink Mountain) before going there.

Its better to take a guide with you to explain the temples in the square. Try to visit in the evening, so that you can see both at day time as well as well as night time.

Patan Museum

It takes all three floors of the meticulously restored royal palace to cover thirteen centuries of Nepal’s religious art history; easily Nepal’s leading museum.

Reviewed By ggm96822 - Honolulu, United States

Severely damaged in the April 2015 earthquake, the restoration since has been phenomenal; much of the original doors, windows, wood carvings and brick work have been put back into place, only replaced by very high quality new work when necessary. This was the palace of the Malla kings of Patan, originally built in 1734 AD by displacing Ha Bāhā, though it has been rebuilt several times since (it was leveled in the massive 1934 AD earthquake, for example). The collection continues to expand, too, as (sadly) other historic structures of Patan are rebuilt without preserving their centuries-old carvings but at least letting the museum display them. There are occasional dances and musical events in the courtyard, and the impressively re-established annual Tantric-inspired Kartik Naach is performed in the fall outside the museum. Guide not necessary but many people apparently miss the second, separate entrance and even fewer visit the pond behind the palace.
