Can tourists enter all areas of Kathmandu Durbar Square?
While Kathmandu Durbar Square is a largely accessible attraction, not all areas are open to tourists. The square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a significant cultural hub, with some areas reserved for religious or administrative purposes. Certain sections, such as the Royal Palace and certain temples, may be restricted or require special permission to enter. However, the main courtyard and many of the famous temples, including the Kasthamandap and the Basantapur Museum, are open to visitors. At Mount Elegance Treks and Expedition, we can provide you with a guided tour of Kathmandu Durbar Square, ensuring that you make the most of your visit and gain a deeper understanding of the site’s history, culture, and significance.
