Doctor Strange’s Search[]
| This section requires expansion |
In 2016, Doctor Strange travelled to Kathmandu in order to find Kamar-Taj. Not knowing what it was or where it was located, Strange wandered throughout Kathmandu, asking locals in the streets and temples where it was. As he continued walking through the city, he encountered an injured dog and helped the dog by providing a makeshift bandage. He was then cornered in an alley by three robbers, who demanded money. He told them he didn't have any, and they demanded his watch, but Strange refused. He was then subsequently attacked by them, but was rescued by Karl Mordo, who had been following Strange at a distance. Mordo then led him through a poorer section of the city to Kamar-Taj.[1]
Masters of the Mystic Arts[]
Doctor Strange’s Training[]
Doctor Strange was taught to become one of the Masters of the Mystic Arts and remained there for the remainder of the year and into 2017.[1]
Battle of Earth[]
In 2023, immediately following the Blip, Masters of the Mystic Arts left Kamar-Taj through Inter-Dimensional Portals to New York to participate in the battle against an alternate Thanos.[2]
Studying the Rings[]
In 2024, Wong and other Masters sensed the usage of the Ten Rings. Following this, Wong transported Shang-Chi and Katy Chen from San Francisco to Kamar-Taj through an Inter-Dimensional Portal to discuss it with them.[3]
Sorcerer Supreme Duties[]
As the new Sorcerer Supreme, Wong travelled back and forth between Kamar-Taj and the three Sanctums on a frequent basis. In the fall, Doctor Strange reminded Wong that he had performed a spell that made him and the other Masters forget of a full moon party.[4]

Behind the Scenes[]
- Scott Derrickson settled on Kathmandu as a filming location for Doctor Strange mainly because tourists were fearful to go there in the wake of the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, hoping that putting the place on camera would help inspire more people to visit.[6]
