Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the urban starting point for many Nepal journeys, with old royal spaces, active shrines and busy streets close enough to explore in focused walks.
Spend time here to see the Kathmandu Valley's past woven into everyday city life. The old Durbar Square gives a royal centre; smaller shrines and streets reveal worship and commerce on a human scale. Patan and Bhaktapur add distinct former city kingdoms beyond Kathmandu itself.
What to look for
Kathmandu Durbar Square sets former royal courtyards among temple fronts and city streets.
Old neighbourhood shrines show religious practice within the working city.
The surrounding hills frame Kathmandu within the wider valley.
Useful to know
Explore the old centre on foot and allow time for narrow streets and active shrine courtyards.
Give Patan and Bhaktapur their own visits if you want to compare the valley's historic cities.
