But temples and monuments
are just one facet of modern day Kathmandu
life. Originally inhabited by indigenous
Neware, the valley today is a microcosm
of Nepal itself where almost all the religious
and ethnic groups of this diverse kingdom
have found space and expression and this
fusion has continues in modern times,
as Eastern mysticism and Western modernism
meet and complement each other in the
alleys and by lanes of Basantapur and
Thamel. You have to be here to experience
it.

Kathmandu
A
Nepali lore has it that whenever the
gods and goddesses wanted to play, they
descended upon Kathmandu. This valley
in the clouds used to be a heavenly
playground long before it became inhabited
by more mortals.
