The eaves of the pagodas, the smells from the street stalls and the vibrant people all combine to make Kathmandu a truly intoxicating and evocative city.
Historical Kathmandu
Formerly three separate kingdoms — Patan, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu — these city-states were united during the late 18th century to create modern Nepal but still retain their individual characters.
Today the city’s centre is Durbar Square where temples, palaces and golden gates combine into a magical outdoor theatre.
Explore Kathmandu
Take time to explore the narrow streets, further squares and temples and you will finally reach Bhaktapur and Pottery Square.
