The terraces of Kathmandu

In the Kathmandu Valley, terraced crops have shaped the landscape for centuries, following the rhythm of the seasons and the monsoon. Built into hillsides, they allow cultivation on otherwise impassable land. This ingenious system, passed down from generation to generation, is at the heart of Nepalese agriculture. Women play a central role in maintaining and farming these plots.

For the visitor, it is an unforgettable sight: a landscape sculpted by the hand of man, of breathtaking beauty.
