Kathmandu is an eye-opening experience; a riot of bright colours, sounds and sights that can be overwhelming at first. Rickshaw-jammed alleyways and medieval temples sit alongside modern buildings, and while visitors flock here for the traditional atmosphere, they can enjoy modern at the same time. With so many trekking trails in the surrounding hills the population is extremely diverse and cosmopolitan.

Nepal is, quite simply, breathtaking. One of the most mountainous regions in the world and home to the towering Mt. Everest, its capital is unlike any other.

Traditional structures and temples create a serene atmosphere that allows you to enjoy a slower, more relaxed pace of life.

Book a flight to Kathmandu with Qatar Airways and you are guaranteed a warm, friendly welcome in a country where traditional values are paramount.

The city is also the gateway to tourism in the country, with visitors from all over the globe drawn here for the incredible climbing and hiking opportunities.

Tourist attractions

The city of Kathmandu has a history spanning over 2,000 years, leading to an eclectic mix of ancient and modern attractions.

Because Kathmandu is a relatively compact city, it is easy to see much of it either on foot or by taking one of the many rickshaws that swarm the streets. This is also a good way to get a real feel for Kathmandu life.

To see a timeline history of the city, visit the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. Take a look up and you’ll see the resident giant fruit bats - a spectacular sight when they come in to roost at dusk.

The Garden of Dreams (Kaiser Mahal) is a serenely beautiful spot which captures the Nepalese love of nature and brings it to life in a stunning collection of rare flora.
