It is the most developed and largest metropolis in Nepal. Most of the headquarters of different organizations and government ministries are located in this valley. Tourists are attracted toward it due to rich architecture and cultural value. It features the highest number of Jatras. British used to call it Nepal Proper.
A severed earthquake in 2015 caused massive damage to many towns including Bhaktapur, Kiritpur and Lalitpur. Many geologists suggest that Kathmandu Valley was sometimes in the past a lake, however, god Manjushri cut a gorge at a valley called Kashpaal and drained away all the water to make this lake area a habitable land. Therefore, this valley presents the shape of a bowl. In the list of important places to see, one can visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Changu Naryan temple, Boudhnath stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Ranipokhari, Dakshinkali Temple and Patan Durbar square. Tibet Buddhist Masters including Rwa Lotsava, Dharma Swami, Marpa, and Milarepa traveled to Kathmandu valley. Funerary structure from the early 5th century presents the most beautiful example of stone architecture. Stone inscriptions in the valley are a source of Nepalese History.
