A very energetic place that's a very popular spot for both tourists and devotees, especially the latter. The devotees love to perform pooja/darshan here as well as stuff things into the mouth of Hanu… Full review by macedonboy
Is hanuman dhoka and the inside of the palace open again after the earthquake? Lonely planet says it was closed at the time of writing so would definitely like to be sure when I'm deciding what to do for my last day. Went to durbar square earlier but only very briefly as I was with a friend so want time to look round the palace the second time.

Hi Garema We did Pashupatinath first thing in the morning, then travelled out to Bakhtapur over lunchtime, coming back to Budhanath in the afternoon. You can cover Pashupatinath in about an hour but will need much longer for Budhanath. I'd also suggest a guide here as it's vast but very interesting. There's a good lunch spot right in the middle but try to get a table on the balcony upstairs. Budhanath takes around a couple of hours to appreciate properly. Next day we did Durbar Square in the morning, then Swayamvbhunath (allow a couple of hours) followed by Pathan city. Each day we had a guide with a private car which was really worth it if you can afford it, as not only will you get taken to out of the way places of interest but you're not wasting time finding taxis. Also, being English, we needed the background detail! We stayed in Thamel which seemed safe, if a bit chaotic. In fact, although we were travelling as a couple, I'd imagine the whole of Kathmandu is safe as we only ever encountered really nice people in the whole of Nepal. Hope this is helpful and have a wonderful trip.
