trip highlights
Kathmandu is a historically popular destination for travelers, ever since it started welcoming foreigners circa 1955. Once known for its free spirited living and huge flow of hippies from all around the world, Kathmandu still holds its century old traditions and architecture preserved. Also hinting a slight cultural influence from the hippies in music and clothing styles, specially around the Thamel and Freak Street areas.
One can observe the well preseved tradtions of the indegenous community of Kathmandu, locally known as the Newars of the valley. Walking in the old alleys of Bhaktapur trancends you centuries back, when these houses and roads were built. It is also especially unique to see the blend of Buddhism and Hinduism in Kathmandu, with both religions coexisting in temples and monastries.
