  1. Himalayan Java Coffee

    Cafe · Thamel

    The Java Cafe Mocha comes topped with marshmallows and is recommended.

  2. Kathmandu Durbar Square

    Historic site · Basantapur

    The museum displays the royal throne and the palanquin used to carry the bride in a royal wedding.

  3. Bhaktapur Durbar Square

    Historic site · Bhaktapur

    Ranked first of the three Durbar Squares for upkeep; the temple stairs are very steep and narrow but the view from the top is worth it.

  4. Palace of 55 Windows (Pachpanna Jhyale Durbar)

    Palace · Bhaktapur · brief mention

    The name makes the most sense when the palace is viewed from its far side.

  5. Swayambhunath

    Temple · Swayambhu

    It's a long climb to the top, which has views over the city and, on clear days, the Himalayas.

  6. Narayanhiti Palace Museum

    Museum · Durbarmarg
