Kathmandu Valley - More than the capital city

Kathmandu Valley

Nepal is not just about the Himalayas, Snow Capped Mountains and Trekking. Though Trekking in Nepal is the most popular tourist activity by a long way, it does not mean that there are not enough monuments and heritage sites in Nepal. The capital city, Kathmandu Valley, on its own has some 130 plus historically and culturally important monuments. So for those who do not wish to climb do trekking in Nepal, a cultural tour to these remarkable places within the Kathmandu Valley can be equally soothing.

Kathmandu Valley Trek, one of various Trekking in Nepal options that we offer to our clients is an example of things that can be done in Kathmandu. There are a lot more things to be indulged with during your stay in Kathmandu. Take sightseeing for example. For the ones who love culture and heritage, there are seven groups of monuments and buildings within the Kathmandu Valley which reflect the full range of historic, cultural and artistic achievements which make Kathmandu famous throughout the globe. These seven incredible heritage sites are:

i) The Hanuman Dhoka Durba Square

ii) Patan Durbar Square

iii) Bhaktapr Durbar Square

iv) Buddhist Stupa at Swayambhu

v) Buddhist Stupa os Boudhanath

vi) Hindu Temple of Pashupatinath

vii) Hindu Temple of Changu Narayan

There are a lot more temples and stupas in Kathmandu, a man once said "There are more temples in Kathmandu than the houses". It did stand true some decades ago but with centralization and increasing population of Kathmandu this has remained a saying. Nevertheless it does highlight the cultural and traditional values of the capital city of Nepal. Be it for just a hike around the hills of the valley or for a world heritage tour, Kathmandu is the destination one can not miss out on especially if one seeks to know about the traditions of Nepal.

In the Autumn Season of Trekking in Nepal, very large groups of tourists visit the Khumbu Region for Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC Trek) and also to witness the remarkable and culturally significant festival which lasts for nineteen days. The religious festivities involve ceremonies and meditation popularly known by locals as Drupchen. The meaning attributed to "Mani Rimdu" is that ‘Mani’ means “part of the chant of Chenrezig” and ‘Rilbu’ or ‘Rimdu’ means small red pills that are blessed during the festival. The red pills are blessed repeatedly and then distributed to all those who attend. This spectacular festival full of dances and culture is sure to leave everyone spellbound.

The Mani Rimdu festival is a tradition passed on from its mother monastery, the Rongbuk. Mani Rimdu Festival begins with an elaborate depiction of the mandala diagram made with colored sand. This sand is extracted from a specified location in the hills of Khumbu Region. The mandala usually takes four days to draw; it is then covered and is central to the religious festival that lasts for the next 10 days. When all the devotees leave, the monks perform a fire rite to dispel all harm to the world.
