Be under the watchful gaze of Buddha as you enter the divine city of Kathmandu. Get a pupil-dilating experience as you set your eyes on a riot of sights, sounds and smells that will quickly lead to a sensory overload. Whether you’re squeezing through the traffic-jammed alleyways of the town in a rickety rickshaw or take a step back and start marvelling at the medieval temples of this old town, Kathmandu will be an intoxicating, amazing and exhausting place to visit in Nepal. The city still shines bright even after the 2015 Kathmandu earthquake brought devastation to the city - including Kathmandu's UNESCO-listed Durbar Square. Stroll through the backstreets and marvel at Kathmandu’s timeless cultural and artistic heritage as they reveal itself in hidden temples holding treasure unknown to man, streets filled with all varieties of spices spread out for drying, and tiny toy-sized workshops. This endlessly fascinating and sometimes infuriating city will have enough sights to keep you busy for a week or more! But instead of going through the usual backpacker comforts, explore the ‘real Nepal’ before your time in Kathmandu is out.

Kathmandu's royal palace, known as the Hanuman Dhoka has a great history behind it. Originally founded during the Licchavi period (4th- 8th Centuries AD), the compound was expanded considerably by King Pratap Malla in the 17th century. Unfortunately, this beautiful palace was hit hard by the earthquake in 2015 and left behind extensive damage. The palace was closed for reconstruction, but is now open to visitors with full access to the beautiful royal museum and thus is one of the best places to visit in Kathmandu after earthquake. Cloaked in red and sheltered by an umbrella, the massive Hanuman statue stands mighty and marks the dhoka (entrance) to the Hanuman Dhoka. Next, head to Seto Machhendranath Temple which is situated Southwest of Asan Tole at the junction known as Kel Tole. This temple attracts both Buddhists and Hindus. While the Buddhists look at Seto (White) Machhendranath as a form of Avalokiteshvara, for the Hindus he is a rain which brings the incarnation of Shiva. The temple's white-faced God is taken out during the Seto Machhendranath festival in March/April each year for parading around the city in a grand chariot.
Lastly, relax in The Garden of Dreams and marvel at the gorgeous details in the small garden, be it the original gate, the new fountains and ponds, and a ‘secret garden’ down south. The beautifully restored Swapna Bagaicha or Garden of Dream remains one of the most serene and beautiful sight in Kathmandu. Built by Field Marshal Kaiser Shamser (1892–1964) back in the 1920s, the Garden of Dreams is a place to savoir the serenity. Grab a book or picnic to distract yourself from the hot-blooded Nepali couples and relax on one of the lawn mats for one having one calming day. So yes, this is one of the best places to visit in Kathmandu for couples.
