Position
The city is the urban core of the Kathmandu Valley in the Himalayas, which contains two sister cities: Lalitpur (Patan), 5 kilometres to its south and Bhaktapur or Bhadgaon, 12 kilometres to its east, and a number of smaller towns. It is also acronymed as KTM and named tri-city. Kathmandu, and particularly the tourist area Thamel, has a large variety of Western food, shopping, guest houses and internet cafes. However, even this can have an old-world feel with its labyrinth of small restaurants and shops.
