Discover Kathmandu
with Cathay Pacific
Kathmandu is a city with a riotous energy, filled with a mixture of sights, sounds and smells.
The city has drawn in legions of backpackers since it became a fixture on the hippie trail in the 1960s. But today, its allure has spread beyond backpackers to include luxury travellers and adventure seekers, with a proximity to Mount Everest that makes it the first and final port of call for those looking to scale the world’s highest peak.
A 2015 earthquake devastated the city and damaged historic sites, but Kathmandu’s spirit and charm remains as it rebuilds its reputation as a haven for curious travellers.
