Religious places to visit in Kathmandu:
Swayambhunath Temple – Monkey Temple of Kathmandu

Swayambhunath Temple, also known as the Monkey Temple, is one of the oldest and most sacred religious sites in Kathmandu. Located atop Semgu Hill, it offers stunning views of the city after climbing 365 steps. Pilgrims walk clockwise around the stupa to seek blessings and cleanse sins.

According to legend, the temple emerged from a lotus in a lake that once covered the valley—hence the name Swayambhunath meaning “self-existent.” A key highlight in every Nepal Kathmandu tour, it's a must-visit spot in your Safaar Kathmandu tour package.
