✈️ Getting there

KTMTribhuvan International Airport

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Kathmandu — beyond the tourist trail.

🌅Reach Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) by 6am to catch the prayer wheels spinning in golden morning light — the valley below is still wrapped in mist and the monkeys are active but not yet crowded out by tour groups.
🍜Eat thukpa noodle soup at one of the tiny Tibetan eateries on Thamel's northern fringe, near Chaksibari Marg — look for steamed windows and hand-rolled noodles, budget around NPR 200-300.
🛕Visit Pashupatinath Temple complex at dusk for the Aarti ceremony on the ghats — the cremation ghats are confronting but deeply human, and the riverside sadhus are among the most photographed in Asia for good reason.
🏔️Take the 25-minute mountain flight with Buddha Air or Yeti Airlines for a dawn Everest view — book directly on their websites, costs around USD 160-180, and is genuinely life-altering on a clear October or November morning.
🧱Explore Bhaktapur Durbar Square, 13km east, which was better preserved than Kathmandu's own square after the earthquake — arrive before 9am before the coaches, and pay the NPR 1,500 foreigner fee at the gate.
