Thanks that you have published the real history of Kathmandu= Kastamandap. Nepal is the pious country in the lapse of the Himalayas, which is beautiful, quiet, the birth place of Buddha and origin of Hinduism. Besides being the country of Everest it is equally popular with its diverse cultural values. This is the land where civilization began and is also known as the country of 'SANGRILA.' Nepal is as holy place to Hindus & Buddhists, as Mecca for Muslims and Jerusalem to Jews and Christians.
In every aspects in Nepal we can find new things. So, I request to your online to publish the cultural-mystery of Nepal.
Thank you.
