These Kathmandu photos reveal a fascinating old city, and surrounding villages, steeped in history.
At the heart of Old Kathmandu lies the tourist hub of Thamel. South of Thamel, towards historic Durbar Square, is an incredible market area with a maze of narrow winding streets and alleyways. The whole area beckons you to explore it on foot. Note though, that the streets of old Kathmandu weren’t given names and as of today, many still remain nameless. This is where a good map becomes invaluable.
