This
ancient town (population 9812 & altitude 1440m) is small but has
long history. Records show that it has been around for more than 500
years. The artistic skill and urban ethos of its Newar inhabitants
have created a place of charm and beauty. Streets lined with
bare-brick houses, carved wooden windows, sloping tile roofs pagoda
temples and sacred statues everywhere. You will think you have
wandered into a cultural theme park. There are many vantages in
Dhulikhel, which offer a panorama of Himalayan that will leave you
spellbound. More than 20 Himalayan Peaks, including Annapurna,
Ganesh, Langtang, Phurbi Chyachu, Gauri Shanker and Lotse can be
seen in all their glory.
