The valley comprises of three districts of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur and between them they have seven World Heritage Sites. A trip through some of these heritage sites is an absolute must when visiting the country. It is a great way to knowing what a melting pot of cultures Kathmandu truly is.
