Surrounded by a tier of green mountain wall, Kathmandu is the largest city and capital of Nepal. The city was originally known as Kantipur and was once the main trading route between Tibet and India and gradually grew into the metropolis it is today. It's a city of great historic, artistic and cultural interest dotted with many shrines, temples, palace squares, charming old bazaars and ageless sculptures. Its heart is represented by the Kathmandu Durbar Square with palaces and temples, including the current incarnation of the Kasthamandap or 'Wooden house' that gives the city its name. This is believed to be one of the oldest wooden buildings in the world, dating from around 1000 AD, and is the most popular UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nepal.
