The political, commercial and cultural hub of
Nepal, is the first stop for the majority of
visitors to the country. Once a separate kingdom
in itself, it contains three fabled cities -
Kathmandu (population 550,000); Patan (160,000);
and Bhaktapur (population 75,000).
.
There are seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in
the Valley. The history of the Valley begins
with the Buddhist saint Manjushree who slashed a
passage through the surrounding hills to drain
out the primordial waters and make it
inhabitable
Over the centuries, a refined urban civilization
emerged, built on a unique synthesis of Hinduism
and Buddhism. Dynasties came and went. Trade and
the arts flourished. Its deeply religious Newar
inhabitants built fabulous cities and artistic
temples that attracted devout pilgrims as well
as rampaging invaders. In the late 18th century,
following the founding of modern Nepal within
more or less the present boundaries, Kathmandu
was made the capital. |
