About Kumari House

It’s a brick building located on the Durbar Square in Kathmandu. But the building goes beyond its architecture and has something quite intriguing to offer- that’s the spiritual reincarnation of Goddess Durga. It is believed that the girl housed in here is the living goddess of Kathmandu.

Highlights:Once upon a time, the temple was known for its magnificent carvings and divine inhabitants. Today it is mostly famous for being the house of a living goddess. Here, tourists will find wood-carved relics of gods and the symbols in Nepal and they can discover the place through a courtyard. Photos are strictly prohibited and it is forbidden to photograph the Kumari or the goddess. The living goddess does appear on the first floor windows often. But that happens in the morning or late afternoons. Kumari is a young girl and it is believed that in her expressions, she can answer the queries of devotees.

Location:Durbar Square.

Timings:From mornings to evening.

Price:Entry is free, however you will have to pay handlers to get an actual glimpse.

I had this trip with my friends. It was truly wow!!! The arrangement was so smooth. The sightseeing is very fascinating and had their own unique style. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable to make us understand well. From now we will book from your side only.

My first day in Nepal and what a start! My guide Ram was brilliant. His English was excellent and the tour full of detail. He answered my many questions with a smile and certainly helped me understand the Nepalese culture. I am female, travelling on my own and felt very safe with him and certainly wouldn’t have seen as much or walked as far had I not done this tour. This tour is a must and highly recommended to all. Thank you.
