Cultural Heritage of Kathmandu

Kathmandu's cultural landscape is anchored by the massive Boudha and Swayambhunath stupas, central to Tibetan and Newar Buddhism. The city's history unfolds through the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, the former royal residence, and the National Museum at Chhauni, which houses stone sculptures dating back to the 10th century. Specialized collections at the Museum of Nepali Art and the Taragaon Museum highlight traditional craftsmanship and architectural preservation, while the Natural History Museum documents the region's diverse flora and fauna.
