Top tips for Paris to Kathmandu
Marvel at Kathmandu’s iconic Swayambhunath Stupa
Just as the Eiffel Tower is the crowning glory of Paris’ skyline, the Swayambhunath Stupa’s white dome and decorated spire is a jewel in Kathmandu’s.
The four faces of Buddha look out over the Kathmandu Valley with many other details also having high significance, such as the Nepali number ek (one), representing unity.
Around the base are prayer wheels – wander around spinning them just as the pilgrims do when they flock to this religiously significant site.
Explore Indra Chowk
While Paris has its boutique-lined streets, Kathmandu has its temples and atmospheric alleyways. At Indra Chowk, you can wander the square and admire the many temples that call this place home.
Afterwards, explore the hidden alleyways to find the markets that sell popular Nepali jewellery and other trinkets.
