Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is a pure blend of culture and modernity. An ancient city, incredibly varied with stunning architecture which illustrates the skills of the Newar craftsmen perfectly. It is a spiritual place where Hinduism and Buddhism have coexisted for a long time.
The Living Goddess Kumari, a young Buddhist girl who represents the mighty Hindu Goddess Taleju, also lives in Kathmandu. Some other notable religious pilgrimage stopover locations in the valley are Pashupatinath, Boudha and Swayambhu Temple. There are endless century-old shrines all over the city that is why Kathmandu is also known as the city of Temples.
