Nepal is not only famous for trekking
& Mt. Everest, but also its culture, art and architecture. The
recorded history of Nepal begins form at least since 5th century AD.
Innumerable historical sites, cities and monuments across the length
and breadth of the country are there to testify the country’s rich
cultural past.
There are also some museums where you can find
thousands of years old concentrated culture on display under a single
roof. The art of painting especially, best reflects the pure abundance
of scenic natural landscapes and contemporary symbolic and non-symbolic
compositions of Nepal. A visit to the art galleries of Kathmandu is a
pleasurable and rewarding experience.
The Kathmandu Valley is
not only the political and commercial centre of Nepal, but also a
historic and cultural site that preserves ancient arts, architecture
and cultural lifestyle. The Durbar Square areas contain countless
temples and architectural showpieces. Cows wander free on the roads of
the most streets of the old city, stepping between steaming piles of
rubbish and hooting taxis, and narrow alleyways overflow with spices,
vegetables and handicraft shops.
Nepalis are highly cultural
people – with systematic & organized calendar for the rituals,
ceremonies, festivals. Especially the Kathamandu Valley is famous for
its own unique way of celebrating different Jatras or Festivals since
the earliest history. The distinct festivals of Nepal give a new
dimension to Hindu & Buddhist religions.
Throngs of
people thread their way along bustling cobblestone streets lined with
structures from an ancient architectural heritage, which lead onto open
squares surrounded by temples of all shapes and sizes.
