6. Art and Architecture

Nepal is not only famous for trekking and mountaineering but also for art and architecture as well. Nepal has been a rich country in art, religion, architecture, monuments, culture, etc since the medieval age of Nepal. Many people of different castes, religion live here. And they have got their own unique kind of festivals, arts of acts and their own way of celebrations. It is an absolute pleasure to see such a harmony in this small state. While talking about the architecture, Katmandu is the most popular and rich place for architectures of temples, monuments of gods and goddesses, towers and palaces of ancient times. Pashupatinath, Changunarayan temple,etc. are listed under world's heritage, and other temples and stupas like swoyambhu, Bouddha, Basantapur durbar sq. ,etc. lies here. That's why Kathmandu is also known as the "city of god". 
No-one will be there denying about the beauty of these architectures and those superbly carved idols either on stones or woods. And many other places are there with a great importance of religious norms and values which are very popular among us all.
