More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Tribhuvan Airport into a warm wash of motorbike horns and incense, Kathmandu’s low hills rising like a slow-moving ocean around the city. The first night in Thamel is sensory—lanterns, prayer flags, and the hush of temple bells that tug the pace into a softer rhythm.
