History Of Nepal

In the beginning there was a lake of turquoise cradled in the mountains, and on the lake floated a perfect shimmering lotus. A miraculous of this flower symbolizes the prehistoric Buddha, creator of all beings.

Saints came to pay homage to the lotus. One of them was Manjushri, the saint of wisdom. To get closer to the flower, he cut the lake's edge with his burning sword of wisdom allowing the water to drain away. The lotus settled and the valley of Kathmandu was created. The flower became Swayambunath, the oldest temple in the world, housing religious relic. So the legend began, that the city of Kathmandu was built along the curve of the scared Bagmati River to resemble Manjushri's sword.

The Kirati tribe, of Mongolian origin, described as fine warriors established a powerful Kingdom in this valley, which today is known as Kathmandu.

Climate Of Nepal

The valley's combination of sub-tropical latitude and 3500 meters altitude creates a near perfect climate. The local residents distinguish the different seasons as:

Winter: Mid Dec- Feb. winter afternoons, clear, crisp and pleasantly warm in the sun, but shivering colds at nights. Sporadically the surroundings hilltops are dusted with light snow.

Spring: Late Jan they celebrate the first day of spring. Once in the morning the fog stops, and then the spring is on the way. Fruits trees and mustard crops blossoms in February, the air stays clear but the bite of the winter is gone, though the nights can still be chilly.

Summer: April / May, the heart and the dust are on the increase and the sun is increasingly fierce. Winter wheat and mustard are harvested in April with the remaining stubble burn to fertilize the earth with the ashes.

Monsoon: The Monsoon- June, mid October. Skies and clear, the air is crisp, the sun is warm and the Himalaya appears in the north beneath a fresh coat of snow. Autumn is popular for its clear, sunny days and offers the best views of the mountain with the moderate temperature.

Autumn: Winter continues with the clear, fresh air of autumn, edging slowly into colder weather by November.
