Things to see in Nepal: Kathmandu
This intoxicating and atmospheric capital contains a wealth of treasures to explore in its narrow streets, squares, courtyards and temples. A UNESCO World Heritage Site the cenral core is complemented on the outskirts by the temple complex of Pashupatinath and hill-top Bhuddhist complex of Swayambunath. Nearby former capitals of Patan and Bhaktapur are delightful to visit, or stay in, and mean that at least a few days in the Kathmandu Valley is a must.
