oldest universities, is located at the foothills of
Kirtipur. This historic town has many things to offer

the folks are typically dressed in traditional |

CHOBAR
Chobar is famous for its deepest gorge, situated about 9
kms southwest of Kathmandu. All the waters of the valley
drains out through this gorge. There is a picturesque
temple of Adinath on the top of a hill from where one
can take in a panoramic view of snow-capped mountains.
PHARPING
& DAKSHINKALI
 Pharping is a thriving and, traditional Newari town,
surprisingly untouched by the swarm of tourists that
visit Dakshinkali. The main road skirts the village so
there are few vehicles in the village proper. Before
King Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal this was another
tiny city-state. You can see many Buddhist monasteries
on the hill and Hindu temple of Dakshinkali in the
valley. |
