These places are like a folk tale that tells about the historic establishment of Kathmandu Valley. Long ago, it is believed that Kathmandu Valley was a huge lake. Around the same era, when Manjushree, a holy Buddhist Saint from Tibet, saw a gorgeous lotus flower floating within the center of the lake, boundless admiration began to grow inside his heart, which evoked his devotion to carry and worship the flower.

Then Manjushree cut the Chobar Hill letting the lake water move out and eventually letting it drain out. This creates a fertile valley for human settlement. After that, the settlement started in Kathmandu valley. Different races like Buddhist, Tibetian, Indian start to live there.

That's why Kathmandu Valley has always been a city of diverse arts, cultures, religions, and crafts. The Gopala and Kirat dynasties ruled during the earliest periods, followed by the Licchavi (300-879 AD), who, correspondingly, developed the town with a passion, traditional art, and non-secular beliefs. The many dynasties that ruled the valley have left an upscale legacy within the sort of cultural and non-secular harmony. the varied Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries are standing next to every other for hundreds of years.

The Kathmandu Valley is made up of three historic cities - Kantipur, Patan, and Bhaktapur. These Cities were once independent states ruled by Malla kings. Malla Dynasty rule in these cities from the 12th to the 18th centuries. They used to compete with one another by building monuments and temples that showcased the craftsmanship and architectural skills of their artisans.
