Our picks in Kathmandu

Not a generic top-10 — these are the ones worth your time.

Durbar Square & Freak Street

Kathmandu Durbar Square has Newari temples, palaces, and the Kumari Ghar (living goddess). Entry NPR 1,000 for foreigners, free for Indians with ID. Walk to Freak Street (Jhochhen) — the hippie trail landmark from the 1960s, now a quiet lane with cafes.

Boudhanath Stupa — Buddhist Morning Ritual

One of the largest stupas in the world. Visit at 6-7 AM to see monks doing kora (circumambulation) with butter lamps. The surrounding lanes have Tibetan shops, monasteries, and momos. Entry NPR 400 for foreigners, free for Indians.

Nagarkot Sunrise Over the Himalayas

Drive 32 km (1.5 hours) to Nagarkot for sunrise views of Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang ranges. Stay overnight (NPR 2,000-5,000/night) or leave Kathmandu at 4:30 AM. Clear views mainly October-December and March-April.

Thamel Momo Crawl & Rooftop Bars

Thamel is the tourist hub. Walk through for trekking gear shops, bookstores, and momos at every corner. Try steamed buff (buffalo) momos at any local joint — NPR 150-250 per plate. Evening rooftop bars with Himalayan views cost NPR 300-500 per beer.

Kathmandu at a glance

When to visit

October-November is best — clear skies, mountain views, Dashain/Tihar festivals. March-April (spring) has rhododendrons in bloom and is great for trekking. December-February is cold (0-10 C) but clear. Monsoon (Jun-Sep) brings landslides and clouds.

Getting there

Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is 6 km from Thamel (tourist hub). A taxi takes 20-30 minutes (NPR 500-700, INR 300-450). Traffic in Kathmandu is chaotic — add buffer time. Direct flights from Delhi (1.5 hours), Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Varanasi.

Do Indian citizens need a visa for Nepal?

No. Indians do not need a visa or passport for Nepal. A valid Indian passport, voter ID, or Aadhaar card is sufficient. No time limit on stay. For flights, airlines require a passport. For land border crossings, voter ID works.

How many days are enough for Kathmandu?

When is the cheapest time to visit Nepal?
