Standing in a
peaceful valley
roughly 6
kilometers south
of Banepa, the
small beautiful
town of Panauti
is at a junction
of the rivers
Roshi and
Pungmati.
Similar to that
of Allahabad in
India, a third
‘invisible’ river
is declared to
join the other
two at the
confluence
point. This town
is relatively
untouched but
where festivals
preserving the
precious
tradition of the
indigenous Newars
are held. It
possesses a
number of
interesting
temples, one of
which perhaps
the oldest in
Nepal. Besides,
it is famous for
magnificent wood
carvings. Panouti once
stood at the
junction of
important
trading routes
and had a royal
palace in its
principal
square.
Namo Buddha:-
Situated on a
hill just above
Panouti valley
is an authentic
Buddhist shrine
which the
indigenous
Newars
call
‘Namra Bhagawan.’
The name of the
religious hamlet
itself is all
Bhagwan Namra.
It requires an
easy cruise by
automobile or a
good trek to get
here. Lord
Buddha is
auspiciously
commemorated
here by
an
ancient stone
slab and a Stupa
(Chaitya to the
Nepalese
Bhddhists and
Chhorten to the
Tibetan
Buddhists) with
the angular eyes
of the
Enlightened one.
The pious
forestation is
believed to be
the exact
location where
late King
Mahastawa (one
of the past
Buddha
incarnations)
sacrificed his
own flesh for
the sake of a
dying tigress
and her hungry
cubs. The Stupa
is highly
worshipped by
Nepalese
Buddhists and
Tibetan
Buddhists. This
serene wood
proves to be an
ideal spot for
sentimental
meditation.
Kakani:-
Situated at an
elevation of
6,500 ft above
the sea level
and 25 km away
from Kathmandu
city lies Kakani,
a famous hill
resort. Short
treks are made
possible. The
fabulous holiday
area of Kakani
features
enchanting
attractions
ranging
from the
beautiful alpine
scenery to the
magnificent
Himalayan
panorama,
especially of
the Ganesh Himal.
Chobhar:-
En route to
Dakshinkali,
situated 9km
south-west of Kathmandu, this
place is famous
for its gorge,
said to have
been cut by god
Manjushri to
drain the water
from the
Kathmandu Valley
which was at
that time a
lake. There is a
small but
picturesque
temple of
Adinath on the
top of a hill.
From this point
one has a superb
view of
snow-clad
mountain peaks.
