Kathmandu, Nepal

Why It Fits

Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is a bustling metropolis offering a unique blend of traditional and modern elements. The city is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the famous Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) and the ancient Durbar Square. Kathmandu is also a gateway to many trekking routes, making it a popular destination for adventure enthusiasts. The best time to visit is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months when the weather is mild and clear. Summers can be hot and humid, while winters can be chilly, especially at night. Monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, which may hinder outdoor activities.
