About Kathmandu Valley
This sacred Himalayan valley concentrates seven UNESCO World Heritage sites—temples, palaces, and stupas representing centuries of Newari artistic achievement. The valley served as Nepal's cultural heart where pilgrims, traders, and artists gathered at crossroads connecting India, Tibet, and Central Asia. Walking the valley traces human civilization's persistent drive toward spiritual expression.
