One of the most famous and sacred temple located on the banks of Bagmati river. Unfortunately, entry is limited to Hindus and Buddhists only. Others can look at the main temple from the adjacent bank of the river.
Things to do: Witness Pashupati Bagmati Arati, one of the most mesmerizing rituals in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) is offered to God. Pashupati Bagmati Aarati follows three priests conducting the custom with oil lamps, lanterns and other religious elements by chanting sacred mantra. Bhajan (songs with religious theme) are sung by devotees during the Aarati, creating a blissful surrounding. The Aarati starts at 6 pm every evening.

One of my favorite places in Kathmandu, very calm and peaceful. Entrance fee of NPR. 400.
Getting there: 28 mins by taxi.
Dining: I don’t have any particular favourite restaurant to recommend, so pick any you think has a good view. Try some of the Tibetan-Nepali food, momo, chowmein or thukpa, khumincho, laphing. Caution: Maybe spicy.

Hang out with the monkeys at Swoyambhu. Not the easiest place to get to with public transport and a long climb up the hill (365 steps to be exact) but once you get here, you can see the whole of Kathmandu from the top and it’s very calm up here. There are a lot of monkeys here, so be aware and hold your bags close to you. Entrance fee of NPR 200.
Getting there: 35 mins walk from Thamel but I would suggest to take a cab since you are not familiar with the roads of Kathmandu.
