Kirtipur, perched on a hill to the southwest of central Kathmandu, is among the ancient kingdoms in the Kathmandu Valley that were once independent but now form part of greater Kathmandu. It is believed to be one of the oldest settlements in the valley. Kirtipur is an ideal destination to explore the Newar people, one of Nepal’s distinct ethnic groups and the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. Visitors can enjoy exquisite architecture, hilltop temples, and breathtaking city views. Strolling through its winding streets feels like a journey through a traditional Nepali village, yet Kirtipur provides some of the best views of the expansive Kathmandu and the surrounding hills and mountains. The area is filled with cobblestone streets, old brick houses with intricately carved doors and window frames, and multi-tiered pagodas. Although many travelers overlook Kirtipur during their Kathmandu visit, it is certainly worth exploring.
- Traditional Newari feast is one of the must try Nepali food. In fact, the Newar cuisine is famed in the country for its range of different dishes. But it is a bit spicy one.
