Chobhar

Chobhar is famous for its gorge said to have been cut by the god Manjushri to drain the water from the Kathmandu Valley which was at that time a lake. On a hilltop, there is a small pagoda dedicated to Adinath. From this point one has a superb view of snow-clad mountain peaks. Chobhar is located eight kilometers south-west of Kathmandu.
