1. Pashupatinath is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site in Nepal, and one of the 275 Holy Abodes of Shiva on the continent. It is believed to date back to 400 A.D. It is the preferred site of cremation for Hindus, as it is situated along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River; ashes swept into this river eventually reach the Holy Ganges.

3. The Kathmandu Valley has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its rich history has resulted in the beautiful cultural, artistic and architectural fusion that is seen today. Elaborate temples, monasteries and courtyards crafted by Newar artisans during the Malla Empire from the 12th to the 17th century, are monuments of the appreciation the Malla nobility had for art and architecture, and their gradual conversion from Buddhism to Hinduism.

4. Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple, as there are hundreds of cheeky monkeys living around the temple. Swayambhunath literally means the Self-Created. A climb up the steep stairway of 365 steps brings you to the splendid hill-top monastery from where you get a great view of the city.

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.
