(FREE REPORT) VISIT TO KATHMANDU DURBAR SQUARE |
|---|

I visited to Kathmandu Durbar Square after 8 months as were under lockdown due to havoc of corona virus. Kathmandu Durbar Square is also known as an old city in Kathmandu. Teeming, touristy Durbar Square is the natural place to begin the sightseeing. It used to be the place where the kings were once crowned and legitimized. Rebuilt, over generations, the monuments inside the Durbar Square dates back to the 4th and the 5th century. Although the king no longer lives in the Hanumandhoka (Old Durbar Square), it is the best touristic destination in Nepal. It is fun to spend hours wandering around the often-crowded Durbar Square and the adjoining Basantapur Square. The entire Square was designated as World Heritage Monument in 1979. The Durbar Square is actually made up of three loosely linked Squares. To the south is the open Basantapur Square area, off which runs the Freak Street. The main Durbar Square area, with its popular monuments, is to the west. Running northeast is the second part of Durbar Square, which contains the entrance to the Hanuman Dhoka and assortments of temples. From the open area Makhan Tole, at one time the main road in Kathmandu and still the most interesting street to walk down, continues northeast. There used to be the oldest building in the valley, the unprepossessing Kasthamandap temple. However, sadly during the massive earthquake on April 2015 has completely destructed the temple. Another main attraction inside Durbar Square is living goddess “ Kumari”. The Living Goddess Kumari is revered and worshipped by some of the country’s Hindus. While there are several Kumaris throughout Nepal, with some cities having several, the best known is the Royal Kumari of Kathmandu, and she lives in the Kumari Ghar, a palace in the center of the city. Reconstruction is going on in the durbar square for the loss we faced due to massive earthquake. Due to the havoc of corona virus, the heritage was not crowded much as it used to be. Some people had thrown plastic glass and bottles in the heritage, may be they were unaware of the plastic pollution. There was something inside plastic sacs. I assume there might be something useful for the construction of the damaged heritage. However, there was the provision of dustbin in each corner. Being there for half an hour, I saw many sweepers maintain the beauty of the heritage. I also picked some rubbish and garbage including plastic bags being the aware and responsible citizen.

Hello Meena!
It's your SJ mentor.
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience of visiting Kathmandu Durbar Square.
A lot of cultural heritages are polluted from litter left behind by tourists.
Mature civic awareness is required to preserve precious heritages around the world.
Environmental cleanup program supported by visitors would be useful for protecting the region and develop environmental citizenship.
What do you think of this programme?
Green cheers and Keep up your great work!
Best regards,
SJ mentor.

Hello Meena,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea.
I appreciate that you took photos of the heritage and wrote a report to share it with us.
Thanks to your detailed description and guidance, it feels like I visited the place in person.
Also, I like the point that you included its history, and bit of religious meanings,
and moreover, thank you for picking up the thrown plastics and taking care of the place.
Keep writing!
Regards,
WooJoo

Greetings meena sis
I hope you are doing well
It's good to know there are people to maintain disposal of wastes. How good it would be if people were concerned about wastes disposal to proper place; it would have been more amazing if the production of waste is reduced.
Nevertheless, we can hope for the day in the future. Thank you for making your effort to maintain environment dear!
Thank you so much for this report
Keep writing
Green cheers
Kind regards
