Kathmandu city questions

These are not the City Sights (for the City Sights of Kathmandu, go here), but just the questions that pop up in the streets. As they are so hard to remember to me (even to read those long words in the questions took most of the 20 seconds), I decided to make a list (far from complete). 

Update: I just heard from somebody who started this year (2021), that she had none of these questions, only general questions about the world. About flags and pasta, not difficult at all. It's different for some people.

Durbar Square

(10 tickets)

The lively historic center of Kathmandu is a great place to discover ancient architecture. Durbar Square is the traditional heart of Kathmandu, an impressive complex of ancient palaces, temples, courtyards and shrines. Most of Kathmandu Square dates back to before the 18th century, although parts were restored following an earthquake in 1934. The square is a sacred place of pilgrimage for both Buddhists and Hindus.
