Kathmandu

💡 About Kathmandu

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, lies in a Himalayan valley where ancient temples, incense-filled squares and prayer flags fluttering in the mountain air create one of the most spiritually charged cities in Asia. It is the gateway to the world's highest peaks.

The city and its valley hold seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the pagoda-filled Durbar Squares, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath and the vast white dome of Boudhanath, one of the largest Buddhist stupas on Earth, ringed by pilgrims.

A meeting point of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, Kathmandu buzzes with the energy of the Thamel district, where trekkers gather before setting out for Everest and the Annapurnas. It is a city of profound devotion, resilience and Himalayan wonder.
