Swoyambhunath provides an excellent view of the Kathmandu valley.
- Budhanilkantha: Budhanilkantha is home to a stunning statue of Lord Vishnu reclining on a bed of cosmic serpents (Shesha Naag). Carved from a single black stone, the 5-meter-long statue floats in a sacred pond and is believed to be over 1,000 years old. It's a major pilgrimage site for Hindus and a peaceful spiritual stop for visitors. Non-Hindus can view the statue from a respectful distance.
- Pashupatinath: Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred temples in Nepal. The temple of Pashupatinath is a large double roofed pagoda of brass and gilt gold; the gateway is plated with silver. There are linga images of Shiva along with statues, shrines and temples dedicated to other deities in the temple complex. There are rows of Shiva shrines and Hindu pilgrims from all over South Asia offering worship to Shiva, the Lord of Destruction. Entrance to the temple precinct is permitted to the Hindus only. However, visitors can clearly see the temple and the activities performed in the temple premises from the vantage point across the bank of the Bagmati River.
- Boudhanath: Boudhhanath stupa is one of the largest Buddhist stupa in the world. The Stupa 100 meters in diameter, was built on an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels by the Lichchivi King Mana Deva in the 15th century. The pinnacle of this stupa represents the stages of enlightenment, symbol of royalty, compassion, knowing and nirvana. There are many myths about the origins of the Stupa. Early morning and evening are the times to visit Bouddha to join the residents in Kora. There is an enclosure with several monasteries of the different schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
