What's more, the people are considered to be amongst the friendliest in Asia. Highlights include the courtyards and chambers of the Royal Palace, Durbar Square with its highly-detailed wooden temples and the Red Towers for a view of the city and the surrounding mountain peaks. There are various interesting sights in the outlying area around Kathmandu such as Swayambhunath, a 2,000 year old Buddhist stupa supporting a lofty conical spire capped by a copper-gilded pinnacle and Bhaktapur, an enchanting ancient city with winding alleyways and a stunning palatial complex brimming with architectural gems. The altitude of Kathmandu is 1,370 metres.

About Pokhara: Surrounded by the snow-capped Himalayas, Pokhara is known for its magnificent mountain views, as well as its lovely lakes which have their source in the nearby glacial Annapurna Range. A place of remarkable natural beauty, Pokhara also offers splendid views of the fishtailed summit of Mt. Machhapuchhre. It's also the starting point for many spectacular treks and day walks in the area and as it is only at a height of 884 metres, some of these are not too challenging.
