Once believed by ancient travellers to be the mythical Shangri-La, Kathmandu is an eclectic and unique destination unlike any other capital city in the world. With the Himalayas forming an imposing backdrop, and thousands of years of culture woven into the city's fabric, it sits in its own valley and is surrounded on all sides by four huge mountains. This ancient city is home to over three million people, and embraces modern life as much as it does its ancestral heritage.

Kathmandu is the gateway to Nepal, and is the commercial and administrative centre of a country that is predominantly rural. Tourism in Kathmandu is an essential part of the economy, and as such the people are warm and welcoming towards visitors.


Kathmandu is a very spiritual city, and filled with temples and pagodas dedicated to Buddha. These sit alongside new shopping malls, exclusive hotels, and boutique shops, giving the city a unique vibrancy and energy.
