With heritage buildings representing the four kingdoms (Kantipur, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kirtipur), the complex is one of the must-visit places in Nepal. There are 50 temples distributed in two quadrangles, such as Taleju Temple, Jagganath Temple, KalBhairav, Swet-Bhairav, Kumari Temple, Kasthamandap, and Nautalle Durbar. So much culture and heritage amidst such beauty! Swayambunath Stupa Popular folklore has it that the whole valley was once a lake, out of which grew a lotus. Manjushree (a bodhisattva of wisdom) cut the gorge with his magic sword, allowing the water to flow out of the lake and the lotus flower was transformed into a stupa. The stupa has since become one of the recognizable symbols of Nepal, along with a variety of shrines and temples in the religious complex, a Tibetan monastery, museum and library which were added in the later years.
