Overview

Kathmandu Valley also known as Nepal Valley or Nepa Valley consists of Kathmandu Bhaktapur and Lalitpur districts. The Kathmandu Valley has a rich history dating back to the ancient Kirat era, around the 7th century BCE. It served as the capital of the Newar confederacy, which played a significant role in the development of art, architecture, and culture in the region.

 

The valley's significance lies in its blend of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, which are reflected by its temples, stupas, and monuments. Each district has its own unique cultural heritage and architecturals wonders. Swayambhunath and Boudhanath Stupa are the most iconic Buddhist landmarks of the valley while Pashupatinath Temple, Budhanilkantha Temple and Changunarayan Temple are the renowned sites for Hindus. The hill of Chandragiri holds significance in Nepal’s history especially in the history of Kathmandu Valley as it was the very point from where Prithvi Narayan Shah, the king of the Shah dynasty, during his campaign to unify Nepal, observed the Kathmandu Valley and envisioned the unification of the valley. 

 

Kathmandu Valley's rich cultural heritage, historical monuments, and unique architecture have made it a major tourist destination in Nepal. The valley's inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 has further boosted its popularity among tourists from around the globe.
