About Kathmandu

Kathmandu, Nepals alte, farbenfrohe Hauptstadt im Tal, voller Tempel, Stupas und Königsplätze, ist das Tor zum Himalaya.

Der Kathmandu Durbar Square, der alte königliche Platz, ist voller Pagodentempel und Paläste, und in der Nähe lebt die Kumari, die lebende Kindgöttin der Stadt. Thamel, das Viertel der Reisenden, ist ein Gewirr von Gassen mit Trekkingausrüstung, Gebetsfahnen und Kunsthandwerk, belebt von Cafés und Dachrestaurants.
