Kathmandu
is
not
big
when
one
compares
it
to
other
cities
in
South
Asia.
Kathmandu
is a
fascinating
old
city
today

pagodas,
narrow
cobbled
lanes,
old
carved
windows,
and
stone
shrines
are
backdrops
to
the
drama
of
life
that
continues
unhindered.
Here
the
experiences
are
amazing,
views
fascinating,
and

climate
charming. |

of
dice
and
scriptural
reference.
There
are
walks
that
lead
the
adventurous
to
legendary
places
where
ogres
once
lived.
There
are
hidden
gardens
behind
palaces
yet
unseen
and

Buddha
visited. |
