Nepal travel guide

Nepal - Kathmandu (Chapter)

This is the Kathmandu chapter from Lonely Planet’s Nepal guidebook.

Whether you’re barrelling through the alleyways of the old town in a rickshaw, marvelling at the medieval temples of Durbar Sq or dodging trekking touts in the backpacker district of Thamel, Kathmandu’s riot of sights, sounds and smells can be intoxicating.

  • follow our walking tours through the labyrinthine backstreets of the old town, bursting with hidden courtyards and little-known temples
  • maps
  • soak up the amazing architectural monuments of Durbar Sq, an artistic and architectural tradition that rivals the great cities of Europe
  • transport
  • dine on momos (dumplings) and wild boar to the beat of madal (drums) and bansari (flutes) at one of the city’s superb Newari restaurants
  • restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Kathmandu and Swayambhunath & around.
