Kathmandu
Walking through the side streets and alleyways of Kathmandu is an experience like no other. The hustle of street trade, the hundreds of statues and courtyards, the smell of food stalls, and the mystical melody of Hindi music combine to enchant your senses. Here are some sights you wouldn't want to miss.
Swayambunath. Overlooking the entire Kathmandu Valley, the huge, prayer flag festooned stupa - Swayambunath sits aloft on a hill and it is a site of importance for both Buddhists and Hindus. Its western nickname is 'monkey temple' on account of the large population of rhesus monkeys who live in the area.
Durbar Square and Patan. The ancient capitals of the Kathmandu valley contain buildings, temples, statues and monuments that date back to the 12th centuary and display utterly unique and sublime craftsmanship.
Pashupatinath. This is the largest Hindu temple of lord Shiva in the world, and is the oldest Hindu temple in Kathmandu. This is the place where Hindus are put to rest on a pyre on the banks of the Bagmati river.
Boudhanath. The largest Buddhist stupa in the world. It is contained in a tranquil courtyard that seems totally removed from the busy streets of Kathmandu, and is the home of many Tibetans who have fled their country.
