Kathmandu

Nepal Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is a city of many contrasts. The older parts of the city have majestic Buddhist and Hindu temples, small shops and businesses, and quiet residential neighborhoods. The more recently built additions to the city are the Los Angeles style casinos, the many discothèques and pubs, and the Freak Street, a remnant of the hippy days.

Hanuman Dhoka, the old royal palace at the Durbar Square, is the remnant of the magnificent palace of the royal family of Nepal. It was almost completely destroyed in an earthquake in the 1930s. The intact portion of the building houses the Sri Tribhuvan Museum, housing personal belongings of King Tribhuvan. The Bhimsen Tower is an old watchtower, built earlier in the century. This tall minaret like structure was damaged in an earthquake and later rebuilt. Ten places in and around Kathmandu are now listed as UN Heritage Sites. These include the Durbar Square, the Pashupatinath temple, revered by the Hindus, and the Buddhist stupa at Boddhanath. The temple of Changu Nath, with its superb architecture, also finds a place in the list

The buzzing marketplaces of Asan Toll, set up around Nepali "chetris" or ornamental canopies, are a must visit if you wish to buy fresh farm produce, or interact with the locals. Asan also has a small temple built in typical Nepali style. There are many picturesque valleys and mountain trails just outside the city precincts.
