Later we head to Kashmiri Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Nepal. The first Muslim immigrants built this mosque and this has been a gathering place for the small Muslim community in Kathmandu for centuries. The tombs of Sufi mystics Shah Miskeen and his nephew who came to Nepal during the reign of King Pratap Malla are enshrined inside the mosque. A few steps away is the much larger and newer Jame Masjid. Prayer services at both these mosques are held in Arabic.
