For
many, stepping off a plane into Kathmandu is a pupil-dilating
experience, a riot of sights, sounds and smells that can quickly lead
to sensory overload. Whether you’re barrelling through the
traffic-jammed alleyways of the old town in a rickshaw, marvelling at
the medieval temples or dodging trekking touts in the backpacker
district of Thamel, Kathmandu can be an intoxicating, amazing and
exhausting place.
The 2015
earthquake brought devastation to parts of the city - including
Kathmandu's Unesco-listed Durbar Square - but many areas emerged
unscathed, and the soul of the city endures. Stroll through the
backstreets and Kathmandu’s timeless cultural and artistic heritage will
reveal itself in hidden temples overflowing with marigolds, courtyards
full of drying chillies and rice, and tiny hobbit-sized workshops.
This
endlessly fascinating, sometimes infuriating city has enough sights to
keep you busy for a week, but be sure to leave its backpacker comforts
and explore the ‘real Nepal’ before your time runs out.
