The entire surrounding is full of cultural and spiritual vibes. From the top, you can explore the Kathmandu valley view. 

      Pashupatinath temple is the epitome of Hindu cultural prosperity. It is a world-renowned pilgrimage destination, which is located at the heart of Kathmandu city. Not only the cultural vibes but also the arts, architectures, crematory zone, several temples, and pagoda shrines are amazing to see and pay homage to. 

      Boudhanath stupa with its mandala shape is located about 7 km away from Thamel. It is a cultural hub for Buddhist devotees and people coming around the globe. The fluttering prayer flags and meditating people around the stupa represent its spiritual prosperity.
