Kathmandu offers a great introduction to Nepal. The medieval Durbar Square is a beguiling complex of buildings, temples, and courtyards thronged with street merchants, women in brightly-colored saris, wandering holy men, and pilgrims making puja (ritual offering) and spinning prayer wheels. Pashupatinath, Nepal's most important Hindu temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site that draws pilgrims from all around the world. The Swayambhunath temple, a Buddhist stupa built more than 2,000 years ago, is considered the mythical origin of Kathmandu. Kathmandu is also a perfect base for Nepal adventures and mountain treks.
