Nepal’s capital is situated in a valley full of historic sites, ancient temples and shrines, golden pagodas and fascinating villages. There is something mystical about Nepal, inextricably interwoven in the panoramic Himalayan peaks, the sparsely inhabited landscapes, the splendour of religious monuments, and the legendary friendliness of its people.
"To my surprise, I fell in love with Kathmandu: the Thamel area, the temples, the people, the food, and the infectious energy of a country that embraces the beauty of nature."
