Kathmandu

4.4
World heritage site · Sacred & Religious Sites · Historic Sites
Once synonymous with the mysterious and inaccessible Shangri-La, today Kathmandu draws an ever-increasing number of tourists, catering to independent travelers of various budgets. A trip to Kathmandu allows visitors to discover a series of World Heritage-listed monuments and soak up some of that distinct street atmosphere that makes this place so appealing to adventurers. Navigating the city's congested alleys provides eye-opening insight about how the locals live and struggle on a daily basis. You can get down to it by touring Kathmandu's various attractions in a rickshaw, probably the easiest and most authentic method of transport available here. Use our custom trip planner: Kathmandu and all its delights await.
