The entry fee system in heritage sites in Nepal is designed to support and help in the preservation of diverse and rich cultural as well historical landmarks. Visitors need to pay entrance fees during accessing the major heritage sites, which are later used for maintenance, conservation, and infrastructure development.
The sites include the historically and culturally significant places such as Durbar Squares, Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa and Changunarayan Temple. Also, the iconic destinations and significant locations such as Lumbini- Birthplace of Gautam Buddha, Chitwan National Park- a bio-diversity landmark in Terai.
