About Kathmandu

Discover Kathmandu

Why visit Kathmandu?
Kathmandu is a lively valley city framed by hills, historic architecture, and atmospheric old streets. You can wander centuries-old squares, browse artisan workshops, and enjoy sweeping views from hilltop viewpoints around the city.

What to expect
In the heart of Kathmandu, traditional neighbourhoods sit alongside modern cafés and shops. Bustling areas such as Thamel and Durbar Marg offer an energetic mix of guesthouses, boutiques, and travel outfitters, while quieter lanes reveal courtyards, old houses, and everyday local life.

Plan your trip
Kathmandu is a natural starting point for exploring the wider valley and the mountains beyond. Many travellers combine time in the city with short hikes, nearby hill towns, or onward journeys deeper into Nepal, making it both a rewarding destination and a practical gateway.

Top sights in Kathmandu

Kathmandu Durbar Square

Explore this historic square filled with traditional architecture, intricate woodwork, and open courtyards that showcase the city’s heritage.

Thamel

Stroll through Thamel’s narrow streets to find trek gear shops, cafés, and lively rooftop terraces overlooking the neighbourhood.

Garden of Dreams

Relax in this restored neo-classical garden, a peaceful escape with manicured lawns, pavilions, and shaded seating areas.

Patan (Lalitpur) Old City

Take a short trip to nearby Patan to see traditional squares, narrow alleyways, and a concentration of artisan workshops.

Boudha neighbourhood

Visit this atmospheric district known for its circular layout, local cafés, and surrounding streets lined with small shops and guesthouses.

Nagarkot hillside

Head out of the valley centre to Nagarkot for cool air, forest walks, and expansive sunrise or sunset views on clear days.

Pashupati riverside area

Walk along the riverside to see historic structures, old stone walkways, and views over one of Kathmandu’s most significant heritage zones.

Experience Kathmandu’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Taxis and ride-hailing services are a practical way to move between neighbourhoods, especially for first-time visitors. For shorter distances, walking lets you explore side streets and hidden courtyards, while bicycle rentals or local rickshaws offer a slower, more scenic way to see the centre.

Local life & culture
Around Asan, Indra Chowk, and the old market streets, you can watch daily trade in spices, textiles, and household goods. Small tea stalls, music shops, and family-run guesthouses create an easy-going pace, and you will often see craftspeople working in metal, wood, and fabric.

Where to unwind
When you need a break from the traffic, head to the Garden of Dreams, quieter courtyards off Durbar Squares, or the leafy lanes of Patan. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for gentle walks, softer light, and cooler temperatures across the valley.

A taste of Kathmandu

Street food & local specialties
You can sample hearty local plates such as steamed dumplings, noodle soups, and rice-based sets in simple eateries across Thamel, Asan, and Patan. Small snack stalls serve quick bites that pair well with a hot cup of tea on cooler evenings.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Around Thamel, Jhamsikhel, and Durbar Marg, you will find cafés, bakeries, and casual restaurants serving both local flavours and international favourites. Menus often feature shareable plates, making it easy to try a variety of dishes with friends or fellow travellers.

Signature & scenic dining
For memorable meals, choose a rooftop restaurant overlooking city streets or hillside venues with valley views. Some hotels and boutique properties in Kathmandu and nearby hill towns offer set menus in atmospheric dining rooms, ideal for a relaxed evening after a day of exploring.

Retail therapy in Kathmandu

Malls & lifestyle hubs
New Road, Durbar Marg, and central city malls offer a mix of international labels, local brands, and lifestyle outlets. These areas are convenient places to pick up everyday items, outdoor gear, and souvenirs in a more structured shopping environment.

Markets & local crafts
For handicrafts and textiles, explore the lanes of Thamel, Patan, and Boudha. Here you can find handmade jewellery, metalwork, carved wooden pieces, and woven items, often sold directly by artisans or family-run workshops.

Evening retail scene
After dark, Thamel and other central streets remain active, with illuminated shopfronts, open-air cafés, and late-opening trekking stores. Night-time browsing has a relaxed pace, and local taxis and rideshare services make it straightforward to travel back to your hotel.

Spring season (Chaitra–Jestha)
From March to May, daytime temperatures are usually around 18–28°C (64–82°F). This shoulder season often brings clear mornings, colourful blossoms, and comfortable evenings, making it a pleasant time for city walks and short valley hikes.

Monsoon season (Asar–Bhadra)
