Kathmandu

 This  is Nepal's largest city and has been a Mecca for travellers since the 1960s. Nowadays things have changed a bit in regards to the political situation but Kathmandu is still an amazing capital that has a great cultural and artistic heritage. The temples and backstreets of Durbar Square seem to tell you a story you haven't heard before, and Thamel is the place for some bargain shopping. Make sure you see the Buddhist temple of Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple. Another important monument is Nepal's Pashupatinath Temple located on the banks of the holy Bagmati River. And if you have got some time head to Bodhnath which is an important religious symbol for the Tibetans exiled in Nepal.
