So what to do in and around Kathmandu? Walking tours. There are temples (Buddist, Hindu, and probably others) on nearly every corner. Some are little more than a statue in an alcove, and others are little less than massive undertakings that words and pictures really can't do justice: Stupa, Stupa, Stupa.
Either way - there's tons to see. Frankly, I don't know what any of it "means" but it's beautiful and stunning in its variety and grandeur. It's really cool, too, to see the central point that many of these sights still play in the everyday life of the people here. They're not just "historical sights." Most of the sights are still in use.
