Kathmandu is an incredibly diverse historic city with breathtaking Newari architecture, centuries old Hindu and Buddhist religious sites along with dedicated tourist-friendly accommodations and restaurants. Stepping into Kathmandu is like stepping into another world that everybody should experience at least once in their lifetime.<\/p>\n

Kathmandu is a city where ancient traditions rub shoulders with the latest technology. The grandeur of the past enchants the visitor whose gaze may linger on an exquisitely carved wooden window frame, an 18th\u00a0century bronze sculpture or a\u00a0spiritually uplifting stupa.\u00a0Kathmandu, the largest city of Nepal, is the political as well as cultural capital of the country.<\/p>\n

Like any big city, Kathmandu has seen rapid expansion in the last decade, but despite the hustle and bustle so typical of metropolitan cities, its people remain refreshingly friendly.\u00a0The city is a warden of its ancestral value\u00a0 \u201cAtithi Devo Bhava\u201d meaning\u00a0“Guest is\u00a0equivalent to God”.<\/p>\n

Retaining its ancient traditions, Kathmandu is blessed by\u00a0Living Goddess Kumari\u00a0and is enriched by endless ceremonial processions and\u00a0events\u00a0that take to the streets every now and then with throngs of devotees seeking joy in spiritual celebrations. These religious festivals are steeped in legends\u00a0and are quite a spectacle with chariot processions and masked dancers often possessed by the spirits of deities.<\/p>\n

Kathmandu is a result of diverse culture and lifestyle, a long history of faith and\u00a0beliefs, and of arts and architecture. Therefore, more than just a city, Kathmandu is a living museum,\u00a0it is an\u00a0opportunity to travel back in time and to relive in the history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
