Join us for a heritage walk!

NepalHeritageWalks is an initiative of the Nepal Heritage Documentation Project (NHDP). NHDP not only documents individual sites of endangered heritage in the Kathmandu Valley or West Nepal, but also the usage of the sites and how they contribute to ritual practices - which is central in keeping the heritage alive. Sites are often related to each other, for instance, through processions. In fact, in places like the royal city of Patan processions still play an important role for communities. We have selected a few procession routes for you to come along. All stops are connected to more detailed information in the free and open access database DANAM.
