Pashupatinath: 

Pashupatinath Temple is a sacred Hindu temple that serves as Nepal's national deity, Lord Shiva (one of Hinduism's main Gods, where Pashupatinath or Pashupati is one of his given names). Being the oldest Hindu temple in the city, you will find a great mix of temples, ashrams (spiritual monasteries), images, and inscriptions from the moment you set foot in this place.

It is helpful to know that it has been a beacon of the Buddhist faith for centuries and has since been an important place of meditation and pilgrimage for many Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhists.

Swayambhunath: Swayambhu Nath Stupa is a very popular temple in Kathmandu Valley for Buddhists and Hindus. Swayambhunath Stupa is also known as the "Monkey Temple" because you can see hundreds of monkeys around. Swayambhunath's followers including Hindus, Buddhists from northern Nepal and Tibet, and Newari Buddhists from southern Nepal and central. Every morning, before dawn, hundreds of pilgrims ascend the 365 steps leading up the hill.

According to legend, the lotus mysteriously emitted a bright light, and the name of the place became Swayambhu, meaning "self-created or self-existing." Bodhisattva Manjusri came to a beautiful lake on his journey. He saw a lotus radiating a bright light in the middle of the lake, so he opened a gorge on a southern hill and drained the water to worship the lotus. The lotus then turned into a mountain, and the light became the Swayabhunath Stupa. People settled on the bottom of the lake and called it Kathmandu Valley. Since then, the top of the hill of the self-existent Lord has been a holy place.

Kathmandu Durbar Square: "Durbar Square" is a common name used to describe the places in front of Nepa's former royal palaces. In particular, Kathmandu Durbar Square is surrounded by spectacular architecture that showcases Newar artists' skills (historical residents of the Kathmandu Valley) for centuries.
