All about Pashupati Nath temple:
This temple situated on the banks of the holy River Bagmati is the most revered Hindu temple in Nepal. The main temple complex is open only to the Hindus; non-Hindus must satisfy themselves by observing from the terraces just across the Bagmati River to the east. As a mark of reverence and tradition, leather items that include shoes, belts and cameras are forbidden within the temple complex and must be left outside. Photography is strictly prohibited.
The most important festival observed here is Shivaratri, or ‘the Night of Lord Shiva’ - the night Lord Shiva self-originated - when devotees and pilgrims from far and wide across Nepal and India, including sadhus (barely attired holy men with long locks of hair and smeared in ashes) and ascetics, throng the temple to have a darshan (glimpse) of the sacred Shiva lingam. The other holy occasion when devotees descend to the temple in large numbers is on Teej (a festival solely observed by Hindu women) in mid-September. The whole temple complex and the adjoining areas turn into a sea of red as women draped in their bridal red sarees and wearing yellow or green bead necklaces offer prayers for the well-being, prosperity, and longevity of their husbands. The temple is just as crowded with devotees every fortnight on the 11th day of the lunar month on Ekadashi. Among the Ekadashis, the most prominent and holiest two are the Harishayani Ekadashi in Ashadh (June/July) and four months later, Haribodhini Ekadashi in Kartik (October/November.

All about Buddha temple Swaymbunath;
Find peace and prayers on the little hillock of Swaymbhunath in the northwest of Kathmandu Valley. Visitors for whom the name was a tongue twister have called it "Monkey Temple" from the 1970s. Swayambhu, overlooks most parts of the valley giving visitors a panoramic view of the city. The stupa has stood as a hallmark of faith and harmony for centuries with Hindu temples and deities incorporated in this Buddhist site. The glory of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started from this point.

Resting on a hillock 3 km west of Kathmandu, Swayambhu is one of the holiest Buddhist stupas in Nepal. It is said to have evolved spontaneously when the valley was created out of a primordial lake more than 2,000 years ago. This stupa is the oldest of its kind in Nepal and has numerous shrines and monasteries on its premises.
All about Budhailkantha temple:
The Budhanilkantha Temple also known as Jal Narayan Temple is one of the most holy threads in Nepal's spiritual and cultural tapestry, and it is peacefully nestled away in the center of the Kathmandu Valley. It is believed that the name "Budhanilkantha" comes from the ancient Newari language, where "Budha" means "old", "Nila" means "blue," and "Kantha" means "throat." This ancient temple is full of history, spirituality, and beautiful architecture. This temple, also known as the "Sleeping Vishnu" or "Jalakshetra," is a living witness to the tremendous regard and devotion that have defined Nepal's rich past.

The Budhanilkantha Temple is not just a place of worship; it is also a live archive of spirituality and history. At its heart is a magnificent stone statue of Lord Vishnu, who is the protector in the Hindu trinity. He is reclining gracefully on the coils of the cosmic snake, in the middle of a clear and calm pond. This famous depiction of Lord Vishnu reflects the everlasting harmony between nature and divinity and is both breathtaking and highly significant.
