Nepal today reopened six heritage sites, including the famed Pashupathinath temple, for the public in a bid to woo tourists back, nearly two months after deadly earthquakes severely damaged some of the country’s historic cultural sites and killed nearly 9,000 people.
The six sites, including Pashupatinath, Swoyambhu, lumbini, Kathmand Durbarsauqre, Patan Durbarsquare and Bhaktapur Durbarsqure, enlisted by the UNESCO have been reopened for public. However, lichhivi-era Hindu shrine Changu Narayan temple which was badly damaged by the earthquake has not been reopened yet for the public, said Chief of National Achieves Shesh Naraan Dahal.
