The city is served by Tribhuvan International Airport, which provides regular flights to Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Dubai, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain and various cities in India and China.
It is believed that the city of Kantipur, now known as Kathmandu, was founded around the 10th century. It was during this period that Kasthamandap (house of wood) gave the city its name and can still be seen in Kathmandu’s Durbar Square. The entire Kathmandu Valley is really one enormous art gallery and museum, and the arts and architecture in Nepal are inextricably intermingled. The finest woodcarvings and the best sculptures are often part of a building - a temple is not simply a temple without its finely carved roof struts. The crafts also reflect Tantric Hindu and Buddhist overtones.
For most visitors to Nepal, the Kathmandu Valley is the arrival point and the focus of the visit. This small mountain-sheltered valley is the historical centre of Nepal, the place where kingdoms rose and fell, palaces and temples were built and rebuilt and Nepali art and culture was developed and refined. Rivers and streams interlace the landscape, the brick-red villages cling to ridges to preserve precious land and even from the bustling centres of the cities it is possible to catch a glimpse of the snow-capped peaks of the majestic Himalayas against the intense blue skies.
Shopping in Kathmandu is an experience all its own. Thamel, Kathmandu’s tourist hotspot, is where shoppers can find Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian artifacts, woodcarvings, handicrafts and an assortment of unique clothing and apparel. There also are several malls where you can find fashionable clothing and grocery stores where you could get everything from wine to cereals. There are numerous dining options throughout the city offering a diverse choice cuisine like Italian, Indian, Thai, Korean, Chinese and a variety of local cuisine.
