About Kathmandu
The gateway to the Himalayas is a sensory overload in the best way — prayer flags strung across medieval temples, motorcycle chaos through narrow alleys, and the sound of temple bells drifting over Durbar Square. Kathmandu is where every Everest trek begins and every traveler's plan gets happily derailed.
