Kathmandu is a stop on the southern slope of the Himalayas worth making a special stop. For 3 days and 2 nights, between Durbar Square and the Monkey Temple, experience the unique atmosphere of Kathmandu.
The first impression Kathmandu gives is almost always from Durbar Square. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Kathmandu, locals usually first mention the Monkey Temple. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but rather the gateway to an entire section of life.
The Boda Harvard Tower hides another side of Kathmandu. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of the people here.
If you have the energy, take a stroll around Tamil Street. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary just right.
Kathmandu taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just as Durbar Square taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look carefully.
