Arrive Kathmandu
Arrive Kathmandu & transfer to hotel KATHMANDU: The founding of this city took place in dark ages. But it is almost certain that a conglomeration of small settlements existed prior to that time, which eventually united as one city. More settlement developed along the banks of the two holy rivers, Bagmati & Bishnumati. Rivers have always been considered, spiritually auspicious locations. The hub of the city was undoubtedly in medieval time as today is Kathamndu area, a temple Kasthamandap built from a timber of a single sal tree, after which this city is named. Overnight at the hotel.
