Despite spending only half a day to explore Kathmandu, I have found the city quite extraordinary and enchanting. During that short time, I was intrigued by what I saw – ancient temples, historic monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites – that I took quite a number of photos.
Here’s a photo essay of Kathmandu’s temples and street life: 32 images of Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa.
And a video of my visit to Boudhanath. Did I mention before that this is my favourite place in Kathmandu? 🙂

Hope this inspires you to book your flight ticket to Kathmandu asap, or if not, at least, to move Nepal up your travel bucket list 🙂

What a fascinating city – so colourful, so much to discover there. Has it recovered well from the earthquake or is there still much damage visible? Thanks for linking up with #citytripping and sharing
Recovery is on-going in Kathmandu but progress is really slow. As a result of recovery works and reconstruction, the capital city is very dusty and polluted, so travellers are advised to wear a light cotton scarf or a mask to cover their mouths and noses when they walk around in the city. I had a bit of a sore throat when I was in Kathmandu due to the pollution but after a day or two, I was fine.
Beautiful photos of Kathmandu, Kat! So much history and culture seeping out through the photos!
Thanks Bryna, glad that you enjoyed the photos. Indeed, there is so much history and culture in Kathmandu and the rest of Nepal too 🙂
Loved your post (and especially the video!), Kat. Thank you. I was also there at #HTM2107. Hope to see you out on another adventure soon.
