Country, capital Kathmandu (5)

I believe the answer is:

nepal

(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "Country in the Himalayas, capital Katmandu" , "Gurkhas' homeland" , "Small country high in the Himalayas" , "Himalayan kingdom" , "place in the mountains ..." .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
