A place of Historical importance

In Nepal there are a number of places of historical importance. The Kathmandu Valley itself is a place of such importance.
        It is said that the valley of Kathmandu was once a great lake. In course of time the water in it flowed out through a passage and thus it became the present valley.
        Kathmandu always has history in it because many great kings such as Manadeva, Ansuverma, Jayastthiti Malla, prithivi Narayan Shan, Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah all ruled over it. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu is also known as the city of temples. The temples of Lord Pashupati Nath, Guhyeswari, Lord Krishna in patan, Dakshin Kali, Taleju, etc are situated in this area.
        The fifty-five-windowed palace of Bhaktapur, the Hanuman Dhoka and the Narayanhity palace are the unparalleled instances of Nepalese arts and carvings.
