Директор: Mahavidya Devi Welcome to KATHMANDU, City of Temples: Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, is set in a valley surrounded by the Himalayan mountains and is a melting pot of cultures and a rich mix of the east and west, the old and the new, where tradition jostles with modernity. Kathmandu is an incredibly diverse, historic city with amazing architecture, exquisite wood carvings, and metal crafts that showcase the skills of the Newar artisans of centuries ago.
