Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, rests in a valley encircled by the awe-inspiring Himalayan mountains. At the heart of this ancient city lies Durbar Square, a network of winding alleys alive with activity, especially during the religious festival of Indra Jatra, known for its traditional masked dances. The city's wealth of historic sites suffered significant damage in the 2015 earthquake, prompting ongoing efforts to restore landmarks like Hanuman Dhoka palace and the wooden Hindu temple Kasthamandap. Kathmandu is renowned for its religious monuments, including temples, monasteries, and stupas that embellish its landscape. Among these, the Pashupatinath Temple and Changu Narayan are revered for their exquisite religious artistry.
