Overview

Nepal is one of the beautiful countries in the world, which is why you should plan a visit here. The capital of Nepal is Kathmandu. The history of Nepal is special because of its location in the Himalayas. Nepal has many ethnicities, cultures, and languages. In the past, central Nepal was split into three kingdoms from the 15th century until 18th century when it was undefined under the Shah monarchy. One interesting fact about Nepal is that the national language is Nepali.

Nepal has a rich history which everyone should have the opportunity to learn about. The history of the Valley begins with the Buddhist saint, Manjushree who drained out the waters and to make it inhabitable. Over the centuries, a refined civilization emerged, which is now built on a unique synthesis of Hinduism and Buddhism. Kathmandu is one of the most visited places and known as the gateway to tourism in Nepal. There are ten world heritage sites present in Nepal, and Kathmandu Valley has seven of them. It is also at the center of the country’s economy. It has the most advanced infrastructure of any urban area in Nepal, with its economy focused on tourism. Kathmandu Valley accounted for 3.8% of Nepal’s GDP in 1995–96. After a period of political injustice and unrest, there was a decline in tourism, but since then there has been improvement. In 2013, Kathmandu was ranked third among the top 10 travel destinations on the rise in the world, and ranked first in Asia.

This comprehensive itinerary and cost for Kathmandu Valley include visits to historic landmarks such as Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, Patan Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (affectionately known as the Monkey Temple), and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Indulge in the flavors of Nepalese cuisines and ensure not to miss the unique opportunity to receive blessings from the living goddess 'Kumari'.
