The Kathmandu Valley is the Himalayan locale most often visited by foreign tourists, receiving more than half a million visitors per year. Here is the perfect guide to Kathmandu and environs for anyone who has visited—or ever dreamed of visiting—this spectacular valley, where the ancient and the modern live so inescapably side by side. The 160 color photographs include temples and holy sites, lush landscapes, diverse ethnic groups, architecture, ritual, art, and scenes from everyday life.

Review
While Kathmandu seems to collapse the world into a single valley, just the name evokes exotic mystery. Hinduism and Buddhism meet in a society where religion is integral to ancient patterns of life: sadhus with sunglasses and hookahs, artisans, worshipers, prayer flags, masked dancers, and, of course, the snow-capped Himalayas presiding over all activity. The Kathmandu Valley is a coffee-table book that would be at home on any altar. --Brian Bruya
