What is the capital of Nepal?

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is located in a natural valley at the southern foot of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 1370 meters. This oval deep valley is about 25 kilometers long and 19 kilometers wide, surrounded by mountains, deep and quiet. According to historical records, Livicha people from North Tianzhu established their capital here in the 1 th century BC. At that time, it was called "Kan Tepoel", which means "City of Light". According to legend, a king of the Livisha dynasty once built a wooden building here, named "Dumu Temple". The Nepalese word "Kathmandu" means "Dumu Temple". Later, mountains and rivers changed hands and dynasties changed. 1769, King Gurkha of western Nepal overthrew malla dynasty, and Nepal was under the rule of Shah dynasty. Kathmandu has since become the capital of a unified Nepal. Kathmandu is not only the political, economic and cultural center of Nepal, but also a national religious shrine and a place where major religious activities have been held in past dynasties. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 2,700 temples in this city, which can be described as "one temple with five steps and one temple with ten steps". There are more temples than houses, and there are more Buddha statues than residents. Therefore, Kathmandu is also known as the "Temple Capital". Among countless ancient buildings, the most famous ones are Swayan Bufo Pagoda, Talezhu Goddess Temple, Pasupatinat Temple and Dark Temple. Most of these architectural essences, which are rich in religious culture and have beautiful shapes, have experienced hundreds, thousands or even more than 2,000 years of historical vicissitudes, and some of them have been listed as world important cultural heritage by UNESCO. The capital of Nepal is a hodgepodge of tradition and modernity, and many temples are mixed in poor slums. There are also many luxury hotels, restaurants and high-end shops in the suburbs. Gade is actually two cities: one is a religious shrine with red-walled temples everywhere; The other is a chaotic city full of monkeys, beggars and car exhaust. Walking on the winding, narrow and often unguided streets in Kadu, creativity and patience are necessary qualities. The center of Kadu is Duba Square, and Tailai District in the north of the city is the base camp of self-help travelers. Most budget hotels are located in the center of Thailand, and the ancient, deep and irregular alleys can satisfy your nostalgia. The restaurants in Thailand and the United States are low in price and mellow in taste, as if they were a global food Expo. The notice board in the hotel is covered with notes providing porters, tour guide services and finding travel companions, giving people a feeling of being at home. The White Pagoda of Karayan Buddhist Temple, the crimson erotic sculpture of Jaganus Temple and the old palace are all places of interest in Kadu. Frick Street is the epitome of Kadu people's life, and its filth and beauty are unavoidable. The street is full of smelly Indian fragrance, children shaking their prayer wheels, fruit sellers, vendors of Nepal, Thangka and papyrus paintings, a dime a dozen cheap hotels and restaurants with flashing lights, which makes this street "FLEAK" (strange) worthy of the name. Patan and Baktapur in Bhakta are two ancient cities near Kadu. They are all famous for their ancient temples and exquisite handicrafts.
