At present KATHMANDU is the capital city of Nepal. The beautiful rolling green hills and shimmering snow peaks surround it. On a clear day, you can see the crystal clear snow peaks of the Himalayas. You can not miss the main cities of KATHMANDU & PATAN once the petty kingdoms in the history , now merging into a common urban sprawl. A little further east is the Valley's third major city, BHAKTAPUR . Within each city is the concentration of the temples , outlining the main Palaces and Durbar Squares. The large white neo - classical palaces built by the Ranas are easily identifiable. |
