With a civilization stretching back to thousands of years, Nepal, no doubt, has lent magnificence due to its unforgettable scene, historical places, traditional artistry and the rich cultural heritage. The early history of Nepal is not readily available and is shrouded in legends and mythology. One such legend tells the story of Manjushri Praddhi Satava who cut an opening at the rockhill at chover by his magical scimitar and drained the lake water to make the Kathmandu valley good for human settlement. In another mythological account, a hermit known as “Ne” was the first to populate and protect Nepal and so Nepal means a land created and protected by the saint “Ne”.
