The city preserves centuries-old traditions, a lively temple culture and cozy streets of old quarters, and in the distance you can see the snow-white peaks of the Himalayas. The atmosphere of Kathmandu is both saturated and peaceful: it is easy to feel the touch of history and spirituality preserved in the daily lives of residents.

Man-made sights of the city are impressive in variety: Durbar Square and its wooden pagodas, the royal palace of Narayanhiti, the majestic temple of Pashupatinath and the sacred center of Bodnath with a huge Buddhist stupa. You can not bypass Swayambunath - "Monkey Temple", the ancient Kasthamandap and the famous Dharahara Tower with a panorama of the city. Among the sacred sites are the temples of Taleju and Dakshinkali, the home of the goddess Kumari and numerous pagodas and museums, and in neighboring Patana there is a rich heritage of art and crafts.
