The history of the Kathmandu Valley remains very much alive in its many historic towns and temples. The historic city of Bhaktapur, in the Kathmandu valley, boasts more temples per square foot than Patan or Kathmandu, while the village of Bodhnath, 4.5 northeast of Kathmandu, boasts the largest spherical stupa in the world. Perched high on a hill, the historic Swayambhunath is another highlight, as are the roving gangs of rhesus macaques that have led this sacred site to be dubbed the “Monkey Temple.”

Trekkers flock to Kathmandu as a home-base, before embarking on long adventure-treks across the Himalayas. Outfits like Annapuma Circuit Trek and Earthbound Expeditions specialize in small-group, custom-tailored Himalayan treks that can last weeks, weaving through the foothills of the Himalayas and even visiting sites like the Everest Base Camp. The treks are unforgettable and exhausting, and definitely not for the novice.
