Kathmandu is a place where the traditions and cultures of South Asia meet the mountainous beauty of the Himalayas.

This capital, in the heart of the Himalayas, is known for its rich history and stunning architecture. It is known for its numerous palaces, monasteries and temples, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with the famous Bundanath standing out as the largest Buddhist stupa in the world.
The city's history is as impressive as its architecture. Founded in the 8th century AD, it has been a centre of Buddhism and Hinduism for centuries. The city's palaces and monasteries, such as the iconic Hanuman Doka and the Pasupatinath Temple, are living monuments to the cultural and religious history of the region.
This city is also known for its diverse culture. Here, visitors can enjoy traditional Nepalese cuisine, with dishes such as momo and dal bhat, watch local arts and participate in cultural festivals such as Dashain and Tihar.
In addition, the city is a destination for trekking enthusiasts, with many trails leading into the Himalayas. The Kathmandu Valley offers excellent walking and hiking trails of varying levels of difficulty, and is also a starting point for excursions to Mount Everest.
Kathmandu is also a vibrant place for trade and commerce. In the picturesque streets of Tamil and the historic Ashan district, visitors can find everything from traditional handicrafts and jewellery to gems and spices. The city's colourful markets are bustling with life, offering an authentic experience of everyday Nepali life.
Despite the challenges the city has faced, including the devastating earthquake of 2015, Kathmandu remains an enchanting destination that harmoniously blends the past with the present, offering visitors a unique rooftop experience.
