The Kathmandu Durbar Square held the palaces of the Malla and Shah kings who ruled over the city. The area is actually quite picturesque with some notable sites including Kasthamandap and the Kumari Devi.
Patan Durbar Square, houses the residence of the former Patan royal family, and is a good representation of Newari architecture. Last time I was here, I got the 5 second tour around it, but this time I was able to see some more.
It's actually a really cute area.
And this lion seems a little more than happy to see us!
