The things worth doing in Kathmandu, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.

Ceremonial multi-course Nepali tasting menu in Kathmandu's finest heritage hotel. Book ahead and dress up.

Bhojan Griha

Newari feast in a restored 150-year-old Rana mansion in Dillibazar, with nightly folk dance and music.

Sort your trekking permits
