Images of Kathmandu

Chobhar is located some 9km to the southwest of Kathmandu 

and is known for the Chobhar Gorge 

through which the water from the Kathmandu Valley drains.

A temple to Adinath Sampradaya is located in the Gorge. 

According to legend the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake.

It is believed that the goddess Manjushree cut a gorge at Chobhar Gorge

and enabled the waters of Kathmandu Valley to drain away

and establish habitable land.
