Prince Harry has visited sites damaged by April and May's earthquakes in Nepal during the second day of his five-day trip to the country.
He arrived in Kathmandu on Saturday evening, and met the country's president the next morning.
They discussed climate change and conservation, Kensington Palace said.
Prince Harry will meet survivors of the earthquakes - which killed nearly 9,000 people - as well as Gurkhas who helped the rescue efforts.
He praised the Nepalese people for what he called their "resolve and resilience" in the wake of the disaster.
He visited artisans and apprentices working to restore the royal palace at Patan Durbar Square, which was heavily damaged by the quake.
The Unesco World Heritage Site was among many damaged by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on 25 April and the second tremor on 12 May.
The prince held talks with Nepal's first female president, Bidya Devi Bhandari, on Sunday morning
