It has a glorious history going back 2000 years, and a refined culture that ranks among the highest in Asia with a great number of Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas and abundance of ancient monuments in different places around the valley.

Kathmandu, along with neighbouring towns of Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, consisting of seven UNESCO declared world heritage sites that are a must to explore when you are in Kathmandu.
