About Kathmandu

Kathmandu is de eeuwenoude, kleurrijke hoofdstad van Nepal, een dalstad van tempels, stoepa's en koninklijke pleinen en de poort naar de Himalaya.

Het Durbarplein van Kathmandu, het oude koninklijke plein, staat vol met tempels en paleizen met pagodedaken, en vlakbij woont de Kumari, de levende kindgodin van de stad. Thamel, de wijk voor reizigers, is een kluwen van steegjes waar trekkinguitrusting, gebedsvlaggen en handwerk worden verkocht, vol cafés en dakrestaurants.
