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.
