As the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu offers a world of things to see and do. The city itself is filled with temples, palaces, and lots of "hole in the wall" type establishments that attract backpackers. The first thing many visitors notice about Kathmandu is the lack of street names and the dangerous pollution levels. Not to say that the city doesn't have much to offer. According to WikiTravel, some of the notable landmarks are the King's Palace, the Pashupatinath (an important temple to the locals), and Freak Street (where Western hippies reside).
