Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, sits at the crossroads of ancient traditions and lively modern life. Nestled in a valley surrounded by the towering Himalayas, this city offers a colorful mix of bustling markets, sacred temples, and welcoming locals. Whether you're a lover of culture, history, or adventure, Kathmandu is the perfect starting point for exploring Nepal's many wonders.

A Glimpse into the Past

With roots stretching back over two thousand years, Kathmandu has long been a center of culture and religion. The city flourished as part of the ancient trade routes between India and Tibet, and its history is reflected in the unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist architecture found in places like Durbar Square and Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple.

When to Visit

The best time to explore Kathmandu is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months offer pleasant temperatures and clear skies, perfect for sightseeing and trekking. During the monsoon season (June to August), heavy rains are common, while winter (December to February) brings cooler weather.
