Kathmandu is a place with timeless backstreets, striking temples and medieval town houses holding the mystical appeal that attracts travellers. The city is equally charming and chaotic as the streets are filled with rickshaws serving around pedestrians while magnificent temples stand proudly along the roads. Everywhere you look is something beautiful, making the simple act of wandering an activity in itself. The main feature of Kathmandu is, of course, its Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage listed area brimming with temples, pagodas and the royal palace. Away from the main city centre, there are dozens of hiking and trekking routes that take travellers through some of the most staggering landscapes on earth. Once you’ve worn yourself out, head back to the city and try your hand at haggling as you pick up some gorgeous handicrafts from one of the numerous markets and bazaars.
