About Katmandou

Katmandou, capitale ancienne et colorée du Népal, ville de vallée aux temples, stupas et places royales, porte d'entrée de l'Himalaya.

La place Durbar de Katmandou, l'ancienne place royale, est encombrée de temples à toits en pagode et de palais, et la Kumari, la déesse enfant vivante de la ville, réside tout près. Thamel, le quartier des voyageurs, est un enchevêtrement de ruelles vendant du matériel de trek, des drapeaux de prière et de l'artisanat, animé de cafés et de restaurants sur les toits.

Top-ranked sights in Katmandou: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
