Kathmandu, Capital city of Nepal

Kathmandu, Capital city of Nepal

   Kathmandu, the capital and largest city in Nepal, is like no other city in the world. The decaying buildings in the heart of the city are a contrast to the lively atmosphere that permeates the streets. The smell of incense wafts from the stores while street sellers push their wares, and people go about their daily lives, all against a backdrop of historic temples and carved statues.

   For several hundred years, Kathmandu was one of three rival royal cities, along with Bhaktapur and Patan. Situated in close proximity to each other, today these three almost run together. The highlight of Kathmandu has long been Durbar Square, the largest of the palace squares in the three royal cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Temples and monuments of varying shapes, sizes, styles, and faiths can be found here.
Kathmandu's Durbar Square was severely damaged in the 2015 earthquake, with many buildings destroyed beyond repair.
   There are also some high elevation spots and peaks that let you see the unforgettable, panoramic views of the snow covered Himalayas. Furthermore, there are some serene and beautiful hill stations with thick forest cover and places with significant religious sites near it that you can visit on your trip to Kathmandu.
