The earthquakes of April 25 and May 12, 2015 have caused extensive damage in Nepal. The oldest buildings were especially affected, along with all the sites enlisted as World Heritage by UNESCO .Swayambhu, the focus of this assessment is situated at the western side of Kathmandu. It is one of the seven World Heritage Zones in the Kathmandu Valley and an important place of Buddhist and Hindu worship.

It consists of many stupas, temples and shrines, monasteries and houses spread over two hills. Swayambhu is believed to have been established some 2000 years ago and has important story linking to the formation of the Kathmandu Valley.The inventory of these sites confronted mainly by two constraints that enhanced its realization, namely the preventive destruction of the most threatening buildings and the imminent arrival
of the monsoon which could otherwise make many of damaged structures disappear forever.The objectives of this study was to make a record of the extent of damage for easy understanding and to help with cost estimation in the future.
