Bungmati is a traditional village located in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. It has wonderfully preserved cultural heritage sites, temples, and traditional houses in the surroundings. Bungmati is populated by the conventional Newar communities that are prosperous in their own culture, fashion, and festivals. It is a neighboring town of Khokana. Bungmati village is widely known for its most significant temple, Rato Machhendranath. Every year, a huge festival is held in Lalitpur to glorify God Machhindranath, who helped to bring rain in the Kathmandu valley that was blocked for a decade. Bungmati has narrow streets and modern houses built in traditional styles with impressive windows. Another extremely popular site at Bungmati is the Karyavinayak temple. It is dedicated to Karya Binayak, a form of Vinayak (Ganesh), who is worshipped as the harbinger of good luck and is often invoked before starting any work or endeavor.
Khokana is an enticing traditional town, which is a mixed form of tradition and modernism. Khokana is renowned for its agricultural practice, knit community and traditional mustard mills for a long time. Roaming around the narrow alleys of Khokana is a different level of experience. In a short time, you will escape the crowd and encounter the traditional lifestyles. The village is famous for its ancient wooden buildings, pagoda-style temples, and intricately carved windows and doors, reflecting the skill and craftsmanship of the Newar people.
The third destination of this tour is the historical town of Kirtipur. It dates back to the 3rd century BCE. This historical site has a relation to the brave history of the local people in Kirtipur, who defeated King Prithvi Narayan Shah's attacks multiple times during the unification process of Nepal in the 18th century (1767).
Kirtipur is home to a vibrant Newar culture, known for its festivals, traditional music, and dances. The Newar community in Kirtipur preserves its ancient customs, with unique religious practices and rituals.
