I get asked a lot why I love Kathmandu as a city, as most people travelling through can't wait to get out of the chaos and mess and up into the mountains and rural areas. Though I love visiting outside of the valley, Kathmandu has a lot of charm amongst the hussle and bustle.
Especially during spring, there are some beautiful snippets of colour with some beautiful blossom and flowers in the city!!
Garden of Dreams is a renovated Rana palace that is a private peaceful garden to slip away from the traffic and noise, to have a coffee and read a book in the tranquil and beautiful gardens! (see two pics above). Definately worth a visit for any frustrated and frazzled tourist passing through the city!! As well as a bit of respite for locals and expats also!!
