Old blends with new ways…Welcome to Kathmandu.
Kathmandu is the core of Nepal's largest urban agglomeration located in the Kathmandu Valley , Kathmandu is the gateway to tourism in Nepal. Kathmandu was ranked third among the top 10 travel destinations on the rise in the world by TripAdvisor, and ranked first in Asia.
The city has a rich history, spanning nearly 2000 years, as inferred from inscriptions found in the valley. Religious and cultural festivities form a major part of the lives of people residing in Kathmandu. Most of Kathmandu's people follow Hinduism and many others follow Buddhism. The city of Kathmandu is named after Kasthamandap temple, that stood in Durbar Square. This temple, also known as Maru Satal (in ″Newar language″), was built in 1596 by King Laxmi Narsingh Malla.
According to legend, all the timber used to build the pagoda was obtained from a single tree. The structure unfortunately collapsed during the major earthquake in April 2015. Tourism is considered another important industry in Nepal.
