 The Kathmandu
Valley, the capital, is the political, commercial and cultural hub of
Nepal. Spread across an area of 360 square kilometers and at an altitude
of 1336 meters above the sea level, Kathmandu is an exotic and fascinating
showcase of a very rich culture, art and tradition. The valley, roughly an
oval bowl measuring 24 km east-west and 19 km north-south, is encircled by
a range of green terraced hills and dotted by compact clusters of red
tiled-roofed houses.
A remarkable legend speaks that the valley was once covered by a lake until the
Bodhisattva Manjushri raised his sword of wisdom and sliced a passage through
the mountain walls, draining the water and creating the first settlements.
The valley embraces most of Nepal's ethinc groups, but Newars are the indigenous
inhabitants and the creators of the valley's splendid civilization.
Not very long ago, it was said that there were just as many houses as there were
temples and shrines in Kathmandu valley. Now, of course, that fact does not hold
true because of the rapid urbanization and population growth in the last three
decades. Nevertheless, the valley still exhibits a living, breathing entity,a
vital culture that has miraculously survived till now.
