Kathmandu: The Cultural and Historical Heart of Nepal

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is located in the Kathmandu Valley in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, at an altitude of about 1,350 meters above sea level, and is the political, economic and cultural center of Nepal. The 2,000-year-old city is known as the "City of Temples" and is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple (Monkey Temple) and Pas Patina Temple. The narrow streets, ancient wooden buildings and bustling bazaars of the old town are intertwined with Hinduism, Buddhism and traditional Nivar culture, giving rise to unique arts and crafts. An important gateway for trekking and Himalayan exploration, Kathmandu combines religious sanctity with modern vibrancy and is a starting point for exploring Nepal's natural and human charms.
