Dhulikhel Panoramic view of Kathmandu From atop a peak, you can see much of the Kathmandu Valley. It could have been better were it not so hazy, which seems to be pretty much the climate here. Tags: dhulikhel kathmandu valley |

Budhanilkantha BUDHANILKANTHA One of the most spectacular devotional sites for both Hindus and Buddhists in the Valley is the Sleeping Vishnu temple, located just a few minutes walk from the Nityananda Institute Nepal center. The temple compound is built around a pond in which lies a 15 foot long stone figure of the Hindu God Vishnu reclining on the coils of a cosmic serpent.

Rato Machhendranath Jatra The first President of Nepal on the second day of his presidency, Rato Machhendranath Jatra:- The red (Rato in Nepali) Machhendra festival, also known as 'Bhoto Jatra' or the festival of the Vest, is held annually in Patan just before monsoon on a date decided by astrologers. Both Hindus and Buddhists celebrate the festival. The idol of Machhendra is brought from Bungmati village to Pulchowk and paaded on a huge, tottering chariot through the alleys of Patan to Jawalakhel. On an auspicious day, the King and Queen of Nepal, along with top government officials and thousands of devotees, descend upon Jawalakhel to catch a glimpse of the jewel-encrusted 'Bhoto'(vest) that, according to fables, Machhendra has given to one farmer. The farmer lost the 'Bhoto', but one day when he saw the same 'Bhoto' with other person he complained the King. Since the dispute could not be solved as the real owner of the 'Bhoto' was not recognized king ordered to show the same 'Bhoto' every year on the day of Machhendra Nath Jatra.

Swayambhunath Temple This temple is on a hill overlooking Kathmandu Valley. Although a religious area, it is desecrated by small shops and irreverence of visitors, most of which are locals themselves. Tags: Swayambhunath Temple Kathmandu |
