naturally nepal

Ancient temples, Buddhist stupas, Durbar Squares, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, (ie : Patan, Bhaktapur & Kathmandu Durbar Squares


For history and culture junkies, Kathmandu is where the action is. The sight seeing is excellent as the city hosts 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites within a 20 km radius. Carry your camera at all times, especially as you stroll around the city and explore the maze of courtyards and narrow alleys that epitomise ancient Nepali cities. Temples, shrines and prayer wheels are everywhere giving you a feeling of calm. The art, the colours, the people, the music fill your senses. The snow capped mountain ranges that dominate the background will blow your mind. And a visit to the temples and stupas will soothe your soul. And then you will come across a world heritage sight. Your jaw will drop. Your eyes will light up. Click. Click. Click. A few more for the photo album. Last word - Do not miss out on the warmth, simplicity and knowledge of the Nepli people wherever you go. Ask for stories and they will tell. Nepal is a country rich in history, culture and heritage. Don’t miss it. Experience it.
