Why visit Kathmandu?
Kathmandu is a vibrant valley city framed by distant peaks and filled with traditional architecture, narrow lanes, and lively public squares. You can explore historic courtyards, hidden courtyards, and bustling neighbourhoods that blend the old and the contemporary.
What to expect
In Kathmandu, you will find historic durbar squares, carved wooden houses, and busy streets lined with small shops and cafés. Neighbourhoods like Thamel and Patan offer a mix of guesthouses, galleries, and rooftop terraces, while quieter outskirts lead towards green hills and viewpoints.
Plan your trip
Kathmandu works well as both a stand-alone city break and a starting point for wider journeys into the Himalayas. From here, you can organise treks, scenic flights, and visits to nearby hill towns, making the city a practical base as well as a memorable destination.
