About Katmandu

Kathmandu, capitale antica e colorata del Nepal, città di valle di templi, stupa e piazze reali, è la porta d'accesso all'Himalaya.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, l'antica piazza reale, è affollata di templi con tetti a pagoda e di palazzi, e nelle vicinanze vive la Kumari, la dea bambina vivente della città. Thamel, il quartiere dei viaggiatori, è un groviglio di vicoli che vendono attrezzatura da trekking, bandiere di preghiera e artigianato, animati da caffè e ristoranti sui tetti.
