Places to see in Kathmandu


A few days will not serve to explore the vibrant city of Kathmandu but if you do not have too much time remember that you cannot miss:

- Flight over Everest
No trip to Nepal is complete without a mountain flight. You must get up early to do it and do not bear in mind that it is not too cheap an activity. The planes that make this flight are 21 seats, so you better book and don't show up with nothing. You may be allowed to pass in the cockpit to better see the most impressive panoramic views. The price of the flight hour is $ 175.

- Bhaktapur Durbar Square
It is one of the three main squares of the Kathmandu Valley Palace. Surrounded by traditional architecture, the square is not only a tourist center, but a meeting place for local inhabitants. It is also the home of the goddess Kumari. The square also features the Golden Gate, the 55-window palace, and a statue of King Bhupatindra Malla. Another place that you should not forget is Patan Durbar.

- Boudhanath stupa
You may be near the center of Kathmandu, but life at the Boudhanath Stupa works at a calmer pace. This is the nerve center of the Buddhists of Nepal. You will see many monks who live in peace and who welcome tourists. The surrounding shops sell a wide variety of traditional Tibetan jewelry, as well as local handmade pieces, clothing and souvenirs. Gifts are generally more expensive than in Thamel's main shopping district, so you'll have to haggle.
