About Kathmandu Valley
The Kathmandu Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site cluster, is the cultural heart of Nepal. Home to seven UNESCO World Heritage sites within a 15-kilometer radius, the valley has been a crossroads of civilizations for over two millennia. From the medieval squares of Patan and Bhaktapur to the sacred stupas of Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, every corner tells a story of extraordinary artistic and spiritual achievement.
