Nepal

Kathmandu

Kathmandu is a city of many layers – a modern day assault on the senses, a hub of cultural and artistic heritage and a monument to the medieval era. Timeless and endlessly fascinating Kathmandu is the hub of Nepal, located more or less at its centre in the Kathmandu Valley. The narrow streets of the old town buzz with life, from the dozens of ethnic groups that call the city home, to the habitual sacred cow wandering languidly through the chaos. With a 2,000 year history, Kathmandu has plenty to explore.

What to see

Durbar Square

Durbar Square

Kathmandu’s old city is a web of narrow alleyways centred on Durbar Square. Wandering these alleyways, lined with temples and crumbling old architecture, is a hair-raising but rewarding experience. Durbar Square itself is flanked by the old royal palace (durbar), where kings were crowned and then ruled, and offers a perfect place to people watch and soak up the atmosphere.

Boudhanath

Boudhanath

Boudhanath stupa dominates Kathmandu’s skyline; it is one of the largest stupas in the world, and Nepal’s most sacred. Built to perfect proportions and with Buddha eyes looking out over the city, Boudhanath is enchanting – join worshippers in circumnavigating its base, spinning prayer wheels are you go.

Swayambhunath

Swayambhunath

Swayambhunath stupa sits on a hilltop to the west of the city. Nicknamed the ‘Monkey Temple’ due to the sacred monkeys that live on the hill, the whole area exudes a mystical atmosphere, made all the more potent by the wafting clouds of incense and butter lamps. Both these magnificent stupas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
