Kirtipur Chobhar day sightseeing tour

Kirtipur Chobhar day sightseeing tour, The Kirtipur is situated on a hillock (1,418 m.) 5 km southwest of the city of Kathmandu. It is one of the oldest settlements in the Kathmandu valley. As a museum, the town depicts the typical Newari architecture and culture of old Kathmandu. According to historical accounts, the town was founded by King Siva Deva (1099-1126 A.D.) However, it is believed that the town has been excited from the time of Gopalvansa. Commanding a panoramic – not to mention strategic – view of the valley, the well-preserved old town is vehicle-free and great for a morning or afternoon’s wandering. It also conceals, deep within its miniature maze of brick and stone streets, one of the best Newari restaurants in the valley. Established as a western outpost of Patan in the twelfth century, Kirtipur had gained nominal independence by the time Prithvi Narayan Shah began his final conquest of the Kathmandu Valley in 1767. The Gorkha king considered the town to be the military linchpin of the valley and made its capture his first priority. It is one of the most famous and religious places to visit. Anyone who admires a location with rich history, good food, and interesting structures will love it for sure. The settlements are adorned with several religious temples and shrines. The Bagh Bhairav, Layaku, and Uma Maheshwar are Hindu sites, while the Chilanco complex is a Buddhist site housing the residence of Bajracharyas and Shakyas, the Buddhist community of Kirtipur. Kirtipur is a town rich in history, nature, and culture that’s only 30 minutes from Kathmandu and offers an insight into the real Nepal. Traditional Newari architecture is nestled between colorful new buildings
