Sightseeing in Nepal

The Kathmandu valley has its origins in lake, which saint Manjushri who came from China to worship at Swayambhu and drained off the water by cutting a gorge through the surrounding hills to the south. The fertile land supported large settlement, and over the millenniums, the different dynasties that ruled the valley patronized an urban civilization that was complexly woven around Hinduism and Buddhism.

The Gopals and Kirati dynasties of the earliest times were followed by the Lichchhavi. Trade and crafts flourished under them, and they built magnificent temples, palaces and monuments. But the valley’s fabulous cities with their exquisite architecture, ornate Palaces and artistic temples that we have come to appreciate so much owe their ingenuty to the Malla kings who ruled the valley from the 12th to the 18th centuries.
