Kathmandu - the vibrant capital of Nepal - is a fascinating and ancient city where pagodas, stone-cobbled streets, beautifully-carved windows, and stone shrines serve as prismatic backdros to the continuing drama of unaltered and unhindered life. Kathmandu bustles with palace squares, towering temples, Buddhist Stupas, and beautiful, rolling hills.

Kathmandu is rich in ancient religions and colorful cultures - a turn around every corner surprises visitors with sites such as Hindu Gods/Goddesses, reincarnated Llamas, and warm, friendly people with vibrant smiles. Interesting sites in Kathmandu include: Taleju Temple, Kal Bhairav (the God of Destruction), Nautalle Durbar, Coronation area of Nasal Chowk, the Gaddi Baithak, the statue of King Pratap Malla, the Great Bell and Great Drums of Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Square as well as the Jagannath Temple.
