Few places on earth a visitor can experience a combination of natural and cultural beauty in the Kathmandu Valley. The valley consists of many temples and monasteries that house as many idols of Hindu gods and goddesses and Lord Buddha as there are people. The Kathmandu Valley will be the first destination in Nepal to visit for travelers as they arrive in Nepal. Nepal only has one international airport in Kathmandu. The valley with an area of 218 sq. miles is 1325 m above sea level. It consists of four major cities carrying great historical, artistic, and cultural interests. Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur, and Kirtipur are the cities of the Kathmandu valley, clustered within a range of green.
The Kathmandu Valley is hidden away in the Himalayan, a living mixture of history, culture, and spirituality. The air here vibrates with the sounds of decades, bringing smells of smoke from old temples and the distant whisper of prayer wheels flying in quiet affection. At its heart is Kathmandu, a city where chaos and harmony mix. The curved routes lead to hidden courtyards where time-worn stones shelter the majestic architecture of Durbar Square, once the center of Nepal's royal legacy. The sacred Swayambhunath Stupa, atop a forested hill, provides a panoramic view of the enormous city below, its plated dome shining in the sun like an icon of devotion.
Nearby, the tranquil and vast Boudhanath Stupa welcomes pilgrims into its peaceful orbit of loyalty. At the same time, the solemn majesty of Pashupatinath Temple nestled beside the sacred Bagmati River, tells of life's temporary nature and endless cycles. The architectural magnificence of Patan, the "City of Fine Arts," is shown in Durbar Square, where golden monuments and crafted windows tell stories of religion and artistry. A haven of peace amid the chaos, the Golden Temple's paths display its peaceful beauty.
Bhaktapur, the "City of Devotees," is like walking into an open-air museum, with stone roads alive with artists shaping ceramics, temples covered with beautiful woodwork, and squares rich with stories from the past. Beyond the towns the valleys outside Peaceful—Nagarkot, where sunrise colors the sky in gold and pink over a horizon marked with Himalayan peaks, and Changu Narayan, an ancient temple that stands as a sentry to Kathmandu's long spiritual past.
Every corner of the Kathmandu Valley offers a fusion of the sacred and the every day, the timeless and the historic. Exploring the valley is like traveling through an endless variety of sights and sensations. It is the place where Nepal's cultural pulse travels strongly and continues.
