Kathmandu

Kathmandu is located at an elevation of approximately 4,600 feet (1,400 meters) within the Kathmandu Valley. This valley is characterized by a bowl-like topography, encircled by the lower Himalayan ranges, which rise sharply in the north, culminating in peaks that exceed 24,000 feet (7,300 meters)​. The valley itself varies in elevation, with the terrain gently sloping from the surrounding hills down into the city center​. The Kathmandu Valley's fertile land supports lush vegetation and agriculture, while the varied topography includes hills, valleys, and river systems, such as the Bagmati River, which flows through the region​. This diverse landscape contributes to the region's rich biodiversity and distinct climatic variations, ranging from subtropical in the lower areas to alpine conditions in the higher elevations.
