The history of the city of Kathmandu dates to ancient times, with archaeological explorations indicating that the city and 2 sister towns in the Kathamandu Valley, Patan and Bhaktapur, were the oldest settlements. They have been traced to the period between 167 B.C. and 1 A.D.
Kathmandu is Nepal’s capital and largest city, situated at an elevation of approximately 1,400 meters in a bowl-shaped valley surrounded by 4 major mountain peaks – Shivapuri, Phulchowki, Nagarjun, and Chandragiri.
