Bagamati Province

The province of the capital, Kathmandu, combining the World Heritage ancient cities of the valley, jungle wildlife in Chitwan and trekking in Langtang.

Bagmati Province lies in central Nepal, bordering Tibet, China to the north and extending south to the plains on the Indian border. The capital, Kathmandu, and the valley's ancient cities such as Patan and Bhaktapur are here, along with World Heritage sites such as Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath and Pashupatinath Temple. In the south, Chitwan National Park offers jeep or elephant safaris in search of the one-horned rhino, and in the north the Langtang Valley is a popular trekking area. Autumn (Oct–Nov) and spring have the best weather. Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport is the country's main air gateway.
