Valley - The valley is situated at an
altitude of 1,336 m above sea level and
covers an area of 218 sq. miles. The rich
tapestry of the cultural heritage of Nepal
is synthesized in the kathmandu valley,
the home of the ancient and sophisticated
Newari culture. The Newars are the indigenous
inhabitants of the valley and the creators
of the splendid civilization of its three
cities-Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. The
skillfully –built temples and palaces,
delicately –engraved stone and metal
images, carved wooden columns and pillars,
and the history laden shrines and Chaityas
of this these three historical cities stand
testimony to the Newar’s artistic
achievements.
