   • Boudhanath Stupa: Lies about 6 km east of downtown Kathmandu and is the largest stupa in the valley. It looms 36 meters high and presents one of the most fascinating specimens of stupa design. Boudhanath is also known as Khasti, or dew drops, after an account that builders had to use dew to mix the mortar as Kathmandu suffered from a severe drought during the construction of Bouddhanath.
   • Pasupatinath Temple: Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Hindu shrines in the world and lies 5 km east of the city center—the richly ornamented pagoda houses the sacred Linga, or phallic symbol, of Lord Shiva. Chronicles indicate the temple’s existence before 400 AD. Devotees can be seen taking ritual dips in the holy Bagmati River flowing beside the temple.
   • Patan Darbar Square: Patan Durbar Square is an enchanting combination of palace buildings, artistic courtyards, and graceful pagoda temples. The former royal palace complex is the center of Patan’s religious and social life and houses a museum containing an array of bronze statues and religious objects. One remarkable monument is a 17th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, built entirely of stone.
   • Swayambhunath Stupa: The Monkey Temple (World Heritage Site) watches over the valley from the top of a hillock on its western side. The huge stupa is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal, and its establishment is linked to the creation of the Kathmandu Valley out of a primordial lake. Swayambhu is also known as Samhengu and the Monkey Temple because of the countless monkeys living there.
