Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and is an incredibly diverse historic city with breathtaking ancient architectures. The city is the gateway to the Nepalese Himalayas, and also home to seven World Heritage Sites selected by UNESCO.

Customs and traditions differ from one part of Nepal to another. A conglomeration lies in capital city Kathmandu where cultures are blending to form a national identity. A prominent factor in a Nepalese everyday life is cultural values. Adding colour to the lives of Nepalese are festivals the year round which they celebrate with much pomp and joy. Food plays an important role in the celebration of these festivals.
