Dhulikhel, Nepal: City Guide and Photography, Dhulikhel, Nepal

Dhulikhel, a small city in Nepal, is known for its spectacular views and culture. While most tourists flock to Nagarkot to see the Himalaya, locals spend their weekends enjoying the view from Dhulikhel. The city may seem like a hub, but it鈥檚 still considered a bit off the beaten path. For some reason, it鈥檚 just starting to gain popularity with foreigners. Everyone raved to me about聽Nagarkotwhich I found to be void of any soul or culture. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but to see giant resorts next to tiny huts felt wrong to me.

The buildings reflect typical Newar architecture which is famous for its craftsmanship. The wood carvings are some of the best in the world. Sadly, a lot of the original buildings in the Kathmandu Valley were lost to the massive earthquake that happened in 2015. Areas that are still preserved are a gem worth seeing, and Dhulikhel definitely has its share of original buildings. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
