Kathmandu, renowned for its temples, is a vibrant hub of living cultures, bustling bazaars, and awe-inspiring architecture. Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan ranges, the valley exudes an irresistible charm. Walking through its heritage sites feels like a journey through time, each temple, art piece, and monument narrating its enduring tale. The resonant clang of brass bells, rung by passersby in homage to the temples, adds to the city's vibrancy. Kathmandu seamlessly blends its rich history with modernity, offering tourists a diverse array of experiences.

The city guides you to Hinduism's sacred Pashupatinath Temple and the tranquil, UNESCO-listed stupas of Swoyambhunath and Bouddhanath. The artistic splendor of Basantapur, Patan, Bhaktapur, and the ancient Changunarayan temple also feature in this historical tapestry. Kathmandu cherishes the tradition of the living Goddess Kumari and boasts intricate wooden carvings, pottery, metalwork, and paintings. The Newar community, celebrating their heritage through vibrant dances and traditional music, infuses the city with life. The architectural legacy of the Kathmandu Valley traces back to the 2nd century during the Lichavvi period. The Malla dynasty (1200-1769) further enriched the city's artistic heritage, a brilliance that still shines today.

The indigenous Newar community takes immense pride in upholding their traditions, emphasizing the city's significance as the home of the living Goddess Kumari. The city's alleyways are adorned with the flavors of Newari cuisine, accompanied by the melodies of blissful Newari musical instruments.
