About Katmandou

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

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.
