| Kathmandu Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see katmandu katmandu imma Kathmandu valley is overwhelming. It is surrounded by a tier of green mountain wall above which tower mighty snow-capped peaks. The valley consists of three main towns of great historic, artistic and cultural interest: Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. It is situated 4,423 ft. above sea level. |

| In Kathmandu itself there are many sights and the countryside around it is
stunning. Wherever you look, there’s always something of interest: a small
ancient temple, a small statue, a sadhu in bright saffron robes meditating
or a Tibetan monk spinning his prayer wheel. The highest concentration of attractions is within the area of Durbar Square. Just off the square is Freak Street which is well past its prime but still has a bit of the flavor it had when it was a hangout for Western hippies during the ’60s and ’70s. The neighborhood of Thamel is somewhat of a tourist ghetto but it offers a wide range of cuisines and souvenir shopping. A plethora of cheap hotels and guest houses provides a surprisingly wide range of services (international calls, faxes and massage shops among them). __________Sights Edit This The Pasupathinath Temple The Pasupathinath Temple Nepal Tourism Kathmandu Valley is dotted with countless shrines, temples, palace squares, charming old bazaars and ageless sculptures.

But of of course the critical situation has taken its toll. The area around the Kathmandu Guest House has mutated into quite a throbbing little quarter in the evenings, with dueling nightclub sound systems blaring across the alleyways, noisy bands of revellers looking for action, and the cops and the rikshawallahs waiting outside for closing time. ________Museums Edit This After you have had your fill of watching the mountains, touring the monuments and ransacking the shopping centers, there's nothing like browsing around the museums for some quiet indoor relaxation.
