I lived in nepal for 6 months, 4 at a monastery, 2 travelling around a fair amount...the main places for me to see were the Swayambunath Stupa (amazing), the Bodhanath stupa(even better), kathmandu everywhere, Padmasambhava's cave, kopan, etc.. If you need help with places and things to do, email me.. cheers
