The old village of Pharping, near to which are some major shrines, lies 18 km (11 mi.) south of Kathmandu.

The three-storied Vajra Yogini Temple, situated on a wooded hillside above the village, forms part of a courtyard complex resembling a Buddhist bahal. The shrine of the Tantric goddess Vajra Yogini occupies the upper floor. On the ground floor are devotional images of Vasundhara, Buddha Shakyamuni and Matsyendranath.
