Kathmandu District, Ancient capital in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.
Kathmandu spreads across the valley floor with traditional buildings, temples, and modern structures intersected by narrow streets and bustling markets.
The Licchavi dynasty established Kathmandu as their capital in 400 CE, developing it into a major trading center between Tibet and India.
The city contains seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and three royal squares filled with traditional architecture.
October through April offers mild temperatures and clear skies, making it the most suitable period for exploring the outdoor attractions and temples.
The Kumari Ghar palace houses a young girl selected through strict criteria to serve as a living goddess until she reaches puberty.
