Kathmandu

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is located in a valley surrounded by the Himalayan mountains. At the centre of the streets of the labyrinthine city is Durbar Square, which fills with people during the Indra Jatra, a religious festival that includes masked dances. It is and has been for many years the centre of history, art, culture and economy of Nepal. Its wooden-carved houses and the multitude of temples that can be admired and visited make Kathmandu a monument in itself, with many highlights worth visiting.
