Kirtipur, perched on a ridge overlooking the valley, is a Newari town steeped in history and traditional culture. Its ancient temples, narrow streets, and cultural ambiance make it a living museum of Newari heritage.
The journey continues to Dakshinkali Temple, a highly revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Goddess Kali. Situated in a forested gorge, the temple is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindu devotees in Nepal. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the temple draws large crowds of worshippers.
The excursion also includes Chobhar, famous for its gorge, caves, and the legend of Manjushree draining the Kathmandu Valley. The site combines mythology, natural scenery, and local charm. Together, these three destinations offer travelers a glimpse of Nepal’s religious traditions and cultural diversity.
