Stories Set in Kathmandu
Set in a bowl-shaped valley in the Himalayan foothills, Kathmandu is a city of brick temples, palace squares and narrow lanes. Closed to most outsiders until the mid-twentieth century under Rana and Shah rule, it kept Newar (native valley) festivals and crafts intact, which draws stories of return and initiation. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves sits on its shelf. Open Kathmandu on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
