Kathmandu has long occupied a lofty place in the popular imagination of people around the world, and for good reason.

Not only is it one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited places, having been founded in the 2nd century, but its location as a stepping off point to the Himalayas and the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, gives it an other-worldly aura.

But Kathmandu’s exotic flavor is perhaps even more attributable to the human element here—a colorful multi-ethnic population with a Hindu and Buddhist majority. Historically, the Kathmandu Valley has been home to the Newar people, a cosmopolitan urban civilization that has dominated culture, religion and politics here for centuries.

It's my first time in Kathmandu. Like most foreign visitors, I’m staying in the city’s Thamel District, but don’t let that fool you. Kathmandu, in all of its raw, real and exotic glory, confronts you around every corner here.
