Nepal to Restore Ancient Temples and Historical Sites

Nepal has announced a new national plan to restore and protect its ancient temples and historical sites. The initiative comes after increased concerns about damage from natural disasters, including the 2015 earthquake. Key restoration projects will focus on UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley, such as the Swayambhunath Stupa and Patan Durbar Square. The government has partnered with international heritage organizations to fund the project and ensure sustainable restoration practices. By prioritizing cultural preservation, Nepal aims to promote tourism and strengthen its identity as a center of historical significance.
