Nepal has reopened many of the heritage sites in the Kathmandu valley to the public, in a bid to attract tourists after April's devastating earthquake.
Among them was Kathmandu's historic Durbar Square or "noble court", which was badly damaged.
Unesco has raised some concerns over the safety of reopening the sites. But media reports quote officials as saying the necessary measures are in place.
More than 8,000 people were killed and the destruction was widespread.
Six of the seven Unesco-designated World Heritage sites closed after the earthquakes were reopened on Monday, Tourism Minister Kripasur Sherpa told AP
