Your destinations —
Kathmandu
The magic of the Himalayas is condensed in Kathmandu. The capital of Nepal is a city with an undeniable charm that envelops its visitors, offering them unique memories. You will feel that time flies by on your walks through Kathmandu. In this city, the aroma of tradition, rich culture, and the lights of progressive modernization are mixed in a unique way.
Kathmandu is located in the centre of a valley where up to seven Unesco World Heritage sites are counted. These sites offer you the opportunity to observe, first-hand, the complex geometry, grandeur, and majesty of Nepalese art and architecture and the respectful simplicity of the two dominant religions in Nepal: Hinduism and Buddhism. Kathmandu is worth it!
New Delhi
A trip to New Delhi, India's dynamic capital, will introduce you to teeming bazaars, tree-lined boulevards, fascinating temples and historically important mosques. Somewhere between a place of intense spirituality and a dynamic eastern metropolis, this city offers something for all its visitors.
Its turbulent history is reflected in a wide variety of architectural styles, which testify to how the city has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. To see an example of the city's diverse cultural heritage, visit the Qutab Minar. This sandstone and marble brick minaret marked the beginning of Muslim rule in India. A short distance away, walkable by rickshaw, is the Presidential Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan), where you can see the English and Indian architectural influences that characterise much of New Delhi. Walking along Rajpath Avenue (the King's Way), one can admire the Gateway of India, the monument to the Indian nation.
