Located at the intersection of Kathmandu Valley, the Bagmati River and Bixing Martinique River, Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and is an ancient city with 1,000 years of history. Nepalese dynasties of past ages have built here a large number of palaces, temples, pagodas, halls and monasteries, and there are more than 2,700 temples of all sizes in the city. Kathmandu is a blender of tradition and modernity, where you can still find horses, cattle, dogs and chickens on the streets and the roads. The city enjoys a mild climate, and it’s comfortable and pleasant in most of the year, winning the good reputation of "a paradise in the mountains".
