Kathmandu Valley
Three ancient kingdoms under the Himalayan gaze: temples, stupas, and living heritage.
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.
We also reach Swayambhunath and Pashupatinath among the valley's temples, arriving via Tribhuvan (KTM).
