Why Kathmandu is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers

Cradled inside a lush Himalayan amphitheatre sits ancient Kathmandu — where brass bells echo softly past brick pagoda courtyards, butter lamps flicker before Boudhanath's giant whitewashed dome, and morning sightseeing flights sweep effortlessly past ice walls of Mount Everest in less than an hour without strenuous trekking.

“Flying past Everest at dawn then relaxing inside Dwarika's”

Seeing Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu piercing clear blue sky from our cabin window — without having to hike for ten days! — gave us lifetime memories. Dwarika's craftsmanship is extraordinary.
