Kathmandu

Walking around Nepal is surely a good experience and a fulfilling time to its visitors. If you want to go to Nepal be sure that you would never miss its simple and beautiful capital city, Kathmandu.

It is an urban and suburban area situated in Central Nepal, along the Bagmati River. It is named after a structure located in Durbar Square known as the Kaasthamandap. It is about 230 square kilometers in size with an estimated population of 700,000. In Sanskrit it means wood covered shelter. Kathmandu is also called by its residents as Kantipur. Kantipur is the poetic name of very old Kathmandu. Within it are two other cities namely Patan and Bhaktapur.

It is composed of carved rose-brick temples and a frenetic slump of modern towers. Transportation in Kathmandu is easy, safe and accessible. Domestic airlines throughout the country are the most popular route from Pokhara to Kathmandu.
