The Baghmati River forms the southern boundary.
Patan has many pleasant attractions like the Durbar Square, Royal Palace, Jagannarayan Temple, Golden Temple, Kumbeshawar, a collection of Buddhist stupas, Nepal's only zoo, and the Tibetan carpet market at Jawlakhel.
Bhaktapur, 35 km from Kathmandu, offers attractions like the Durbar Square, famous for its temples, squares, statues and columns, Taumadhi Tole Square, Nyatapola Temple, Til Mahadev Narayan, Potters' Square, and Tachupal Tole Square.
In the Terai region, the Shuklaphanta Wildlife reserve, Chitwan National Park and Janakpur, the legendary birthplace of Goddess Sita , are the often visited sites.
