Check our cheap flights from Australia to discover Nepal’s largest city, Kathmandu, with cheap flights from Globehunters.

Kathmandu was once a very popular destination in the 60s and 70s, when people would flock here to seek spiritual enlightenment.

While it might not quite be the hippie mecca it once was, it’s still a magical place to visit and the starting point for those who are embarking on a trek into the Himalayas.

The city itself is full of beautiful temples and monuments, with Durbar Square serving as the city’s historic and cultural hub, which is a World Heritage site itself.

In the square, you’ll find the old Royal Palace, and in the surrounding area, there are about 50 ancient temples, including the Kasthamandap, which gives Kathmandu its name.

Venturing out of the city itself, you can see the Kathmandu Valley, which is home to seven World Heritage sites, including the Swayambhunath stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, which as you can probably tell from the name is home to a group of holy monkeys!

Whether you’re a spiritual person or not, Kathmandu is a truly magical destination that you won’t forget in a hurry, so be sure to check out our cheap fares from Australia below!
