The distinctive multi-tiered “pagoda” form of the indigenous Newa architecture can be admired in the beautiful temples, pavilions and palaces and the lucky may get a glimpse of the living Goddess as she peers out of an ornate window of her palace.
A backpackers’ haven since the 1950’s, Kathmandu is home to a large Tibetan community and offers a great introduction to Tibetan food and culture. The stupas of Bodhnath and Swayambhunath are two of the most important Buddhist sites with the prominent all-seeing eyes the Buddha gazing out into all four directions.
