The Kathmandu Valley located in Nepal , lies at the crossroads of ancient civilizations of Asia , and has at least 130 important monuments, including several pilgrimage sites for Hindus and Buddhists . There are seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites within this valley. Historically, the valley and adjoining areas made up a confederation known as Nepal Mandala . Until the 15th century, Bhaktapur was its capital when two other capitals, Kathmandu and Lalitpur , were established. [1] After the annexation of the valley by the Gorkha Kingdom , and subsequent conversion of the valley as the capital of their empire, the designation of "Nepal" was extended to every land they conquered.
