Temples

There are numerous temples in the town depicting an example of traditional and old Newari craftsmanship of Dhulikhel. These are important places of worship for local people. The core area of Dhulikhel has interesting narrow cobbled streets and lanes embedded with number of Hindu Shrines and a few Buddhist Stupa. 

In the center of the old town is the Narayan Temple with its yellow metal roofs. It is dedicated to Lord Krishna whose birthday is joyfully celebrated here in August. Alongside is the Harisiddhi Temple whose God responds to the worshippers' problems and sees their good and wrong doings. Both the temples are adorned with profuese wood carvings and fronted by two Garudas in quite different attitude. 

 Bhagwati Temple situated at the top of the western part of the town is considered as one of the best place to see around Dhulikhel and also to enjoy the best mountain views. 

The Gaukhureshwor Mahadev Temple is about 20 minutes walk to the east of the town near Tundikhel Recreation Park and is located in a peaceful and quite environment. It is probably the most scenic religious centre, beside a small river surrounded by trees. 

Further up hill, one reaches, within half an hour trek, the Bhagwati (Kali) Temple. This is a beautiful pagoda that one can see on the skyline as one drives into Dhulikhel. One can get a bird's eye view of Dhulikhel town and other surrounding areas from this height. This is one of the best sites around Dhulikhel for viewing snow-fed peaks from Mt. Annapurna to Mt. Everest range, sunrise, sunset and the ever changing play of light on the sky and hills in a fine twilight show. 

While going to Bhagwati (Kali) Temple, again about 100m from the Tundikhel Recreation Park lies 'Buddha Vihar', a Buddhist Monastery amid lush green 'Dipendra Greenery Park', where cool breeze whispers an ambience of eternal peace and tranquility
