Great location, I really want to go there.
Traditional skills like wood-carving have been handed down for centuries in the Kathmandu Valley. Take a course in woodcarving, stone masonry, pottery or learn delicate Thangka painting from artisans who have been practicing this skills for generations.
Nepal has an abundance of temples and palaces, art and crafs, music and war history. To this day there are skilled craftsmen who can make equally beautiful woodcarvings and intricate statues. Nepal is the birthplace of Araniko, a famous artist, of the late 12th century, from the Kathmandu Valley who traveled to China, Beijing and built the famous White Stupa at the Miaoying Temple. He is a key figure in Chinese culture because he introduced the pagoda style architecture in China, for the first time and the rest is history.
