Explorer la vallée de Kathmandu
At first glance, Kathmandu can seem bustling and whirlwind-fast. But give it a few hours, and it will captivate you with its spiritual devotion and timeless living heritage. Nestled in a green valley ringed by Himalayan foothills, the capital of Nepal is a living open-air museum where ancient rituals unfold daily amidst centuries-old carved wooden temples.
The Kathmandu Valley shelters seven UNESCO World Heritage sites: the great white stupa of Boudhanath where Tibetan monks chant prayers, the hilltop monkey temple of Swayambhunath, the sacred Hindu shrines of Pashupatinath along the Bagmati River, and the three magnificent royal Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur with their exquisite Newar woodwork.
For our travelers, Kathmandu is far more than a transit stop. This is where Robin and our local team personally welcome you upon arrival, introduce you to the spirit of Nepal, and conduct your expedition briefing before setting off for the wild jungles of the Terai or the high trails of the Himalayas.
