Historical Significance Chandragiri hills carry historical significance as well. It was from these hills that King Prithivi Narayan Shah caught the first glimpse of a much scenic and prosperous Kathmandu valley, which in fact instilled in the king’s mind an idea of annexing the valley into his kingdom. According to folklore, Prithivi Narayan Shah is believed to have amassed spiritual powers for unification process after undergoing rigorous ‘sadhana’ or meditation at these very hills. The Gorkhali King disguised himself while ascending the hills in order to avoid being recognized by the Malla Kings of Kathmandu Valley. In his ‘Divyopadesh’ (Divine Preaching), it has been mentioned that King Prithivi Narayan Shah was determined to first annex and then make Kathmandu the capital of unified Nepal. He apparently first saw the valley while on his way back to his kingdom in Gorkha from his in-law’s realm in Makwanpur. Astrologers Bhanu Aryal and Kulananda Dhakal who accompanied the king during that trip had made a prediction that their king’s wish to takeover Kathmandu would definitely come true. As per popular belief, pleased with his perseverance and Sadhana, it was Bhaleshwor Mahadev that granted King Prithivi Narayan Shah his wishes.

About Katmandou

Katmandou, capitale ancienne et colorée du Népal, ville de vallée aux temples, stupas et places royales, porte d'entrée de l'Himalaya.

La place Durbar de Katmandou, l'ancienne place royale, est encombrée de temples à toits en pagode et de palais, et la Kumari, la déesse enfant vivante de la ville, réside tout près. Thamel, le quartier des voyageurs, est un enchevêtrement de ruelles vendant du matériel de trek, des drapeaux de prière et de l'artisanat, animé de cafés et de restaurants sur les toits.
