Kathmandu is a city where winding alleys, carved wooden facades, and lively squares sit against the backdrop of distant Himalayan peaks. The capital of Nepal feels intimate yet energetic, with compact neighbourhoods full of markets, handcraft workshops, and historic courtyards waiting to be discovered. You will find a blend of old-world charm and emerging modern spaces, from roadside tea stalls to stylish cafés.
The city is also the main gateway for exploring Nepal, whether you are heading towards famous trekking trails, wildlife reserves, or scenic hill towns. Yet Kathmandu itself rewards time and attention. Its historic plazas, traditional houses, and colourful streets offer a vivid introduction to local life, while leafy suburbs and nearby hill viewpoints provide quieter escapes and sweeping valley views.
