Kathmandu
To arrive at Kathmandu is to enter a world away from the world, where colorful prayer flags, temple monkeys, and Hindu ascetics are religious accents among other striking sights.Tranquil temples and hidden shrines inspire solemn reflection, while pockets of narrow alleys in the Old City encourage exploration. For restless adventurers and thrill seekers, Kathmandu also serves as a pathway to the famed hiking destination Annapurna circuit.
