Boudhanath Stupa is the largest stupa in Nepal and a major center of Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet. Located just 2 km north of Pashupatinath, it dates back to the 14th century and remains a vital place of pilgrimage and meditation for Buddhists.
Pashupatinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is one of Nepal’s most sacred Hindu temples. Established in the 5th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site attracts pilgrims from across the world. While only Hindus may enter the temple grounds, visitors can observe rituals and ceremonies from the eastern bank of the Bagmati River.

Kathmandu Durbar Square is a historic complex filled with palaces, courtyards, and temples, including the famous Hanuman Dhoka Palace and Kumari Ghar (home of the Living Goddess). This UNESCO World Heritage site reflects the rich history and culture of the former Kathmandu Kingdom.
Swayambhunath Temple, also known as the Monkey Temple, is the oldest Buddhist shrine in the valley. Perched on a hilltop, it offers sweeping views of Kathmandu and is believed to have been built over 2,500 years ago. The name Swayambhunath means "Self-Existent One," highlighting its ancient spiritual significance.

My First Trek In Nepal
I and group of friends from malaysia recently finished the Everest Base Camp trek with Sali Trekking, and it was an absolutely incredible experience thanks to their outstanding service! The team went above and beyond—our guide Ishwor and porter Ramesh were amazing, and everything was perfectly planned and executed. The whole journey felt seamless and enjoyable, with every need thoughtfully met. At Gorakshep I was nearly giving up but my guide motivate me and ask to move slowly, as I was so tired. Yey, Finally I made it. If you’re considering a trek, Sali Trekking is the way to go—I’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation!
