Kathmandu Valley
Three ancient kingdoms under the Himalayan gaze — temples, stupas, and living heritage.
Courtesy of Dwarika's Hotel
The Kathmandu Valley cradles three royal cities — Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur — each with its own Durbar Square of intricately carved temples. Boudhanath's stupa anchors the Tibetan Buddhist world outside Tibet.
