The iconic Durbar Square and the Dharahara tower may have been damaged but people continue to throng these landmarks to see the extent of destruction caused by the earthquake to the heritage structures.
Many people, from Kathmandu valley, a few from outside and foreigners, continue to visit the sites.
"It is a painful site to see this. I wanted to see what kind of destruction these structures have gone through. The Bhaktapur durbar (another durbar in the Kathmandu valley) has also seen a lot of damages," said Sagar Bakhunche, a resident of Bhaktapur district in the Kathmandu valley.
Many visit the site to see the engravings of the Malla period on the bricks that are all across the site.
Nepal's Department of Archaeology has already issued instructions and warnings for people not to steal bricks, which are a part of the heritage structures.
"The bricks here have some engravings and are interesting. I wanted to see them," said Janak Bangara, a resident of Sindupalchowk.
Liv Wendel, a Norway citizen, said she is heart broken looking at the extent of the damage to the site.
The last time she was here, she said the place was filled with people and lots of energy.
"I was here on February 14 and we all took out a rally to raise awareness about the rights of the women in the country. Now when I come here again, I feel sad to the see the damage that the structure has seen," Wendel, who is working with an NGO United Mission, said.
But Kanchan Tampang, who works as a caretaker in Sankrit Vidyalay in Durbar Square is not amused.
He has been residing in a small room in the building for the last 30 years. After the tremor, the building has suffered extensive damages and since then he has been staying in a tent outside his house.
"Earlier, people would come here to see the structure. Now people come to see their destruction," he said.
The UNSECO declared the structures in the valley as cultural heritage sites of the world in 1979. This included the Basantpur Durbar in the Kathmandu valley, the Bhaktapur Durbar and the Patan Durbar.
These durbars have temples of the Malla period with a peculiar pagoda style of architecture.
