Kathmandu is one of the great historical capitals of the world, and blends traditional and modern lifestyles and culture to create a fascinating city. It is an area of great temples, both Hindu and Buddhist, and many World Heritage sites. Enjoy the bustling markets of Asan, the up market shops of Durbar Marg or the tourist area of Thamel. You can sample a huge variety of food in Kathmandu ‘s restaurants, and there are many bars where you can refresh yourself and meet new people.

We recommend that you take some time to visit local attractions such as Swayambunath (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath (burning ghats) Boudhanath (largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal), the ancient cities of Bhaktapur and Patan, and Durbar Square. These sites are of great importance to locals and are usually bustling with people worshipping and sightseeing. Please respect their religious beliefs when you visit.

Samsara Resort has been designed as a peaceful haven in Thamel, the main tourist district, which has a wealth of dining and shopping options. We have a delightful garden where you can relax, enjoy a drink or meet with friends away from the liveliness just outside.
