Kathmandu, the capital valley of Nepal, fuses spiritual heritage, historic squares, and Himalayan gateways in one layered city. Ancient Durbar Squares (Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur) brim with pagodas, carved wood, stone temples, and community life. The Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) and Boudhanath Stupa rise above city rooftops, while labyrinthine alleys host craft shops, cafés, and shrine corners.
Street life moves through courtyards, pilgrims, market stalls, and temple rituals. Nepalese gods, prayer flags, and incense animate public and private spaces alike. Beyond the city, valleys open toward mountain trails, ancient forests, and village outskirts, reminding you of the Himalayan proximity.
With Atlas Tours, your Kathmandu stay is structured—heritage walks, temple tours, lodging in cultural neighborhoods, acclimatization time, and pacing tuned to both discovery and rest. Whether your draw is spiritual architecture, urban culture, or Himalayan edges, Kathmandu offers Nepal’s heart, vibrant and dense, in stone, prayer, and human tapestry.
