Kathmandu the capital of Nepal and its largest city, is located in the eastern half of the country at an altitude of 4266 ft. History tells us that for several hundred years it was one of three major royal cities - the other two being Bhaktapur and Patan Nepal is today a well-developed modern city without losing the old world charm. Kathmandu boasts of many historic buildings and is home to the largest of the ancient royal palaces as well as numerous Rana places and important religious sites. Tourists find comforting the medieval air that prevails in Kathmandu and the fascinating indigenous culture - the site of prayers and pujas in the temples exudes a magic effect. Kathmandu is a city of assortments and contradictions, and remains, to this day, a thoroughly intriguing place.
Declared as one of the eight Cultural World Heritage site by Unesco , Kathmandu Durbar Square is a marvelous cluster of ancient temples, palaces, courtyards and streets. The square is extremely popular as the social, religious and urban focal point of Kathmandu.
