Patan

The city of Patan is believed to have been built in the third century B.C. by the Kirat dynasty. It was expanded by Lichhavis in the 6th century A.D. and again by the Mallas in medieval period. The Malla kings ruled the Kathmandu Valley until the ascension of the Shah dynasty. In 1768, King Prithvi Narayan Shah began his campaign to unify Nepal and Patan became a city in the kingdom of Nepal.

In the early 1800's the Shah heirs fought the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816) against the British East India Company over the annexation of small neighboring states. The Nepalese lost and were forced to cede land to the British in exchange for autonomy.

In 1846, Queen Rajendralakshmi sought to curb the power of the military leader, Jang Bahadur. An armed clash between the queen's loyalists and the miliary personnel loyal to Bahadur ensued in the palace armory in Kathmandu, after which the queen had several hundred prominent men executed, including princes and chieftans. This became known as the Kot Massacre. Badahur emerged from the fighting as the only powerful leader and took the office of Prime Minister. He made the prime minister position autocratic and hereditary. During his reign he purged his enemies by killing and driving thousands into exile, including the king and queen. He replaced them with a figurehead monarch, who gave Bahadur the title 'Rana'. The rule of Bahadur and his heirs over the next 100 years became known as the Rana dynasty.

Chitwan

It is believed that Nepali leftist revolutionary leader Prachanda spent his childhood and youth in Chitwan.

Sagarmatha
Mt. Everest Expedition:As you will no doubt already know, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world at a height of 8,850 m (29,035 ft). Of course, we don't call it Mt Everest. Most Nepali people refer to the mountain as Sagarmatha, meaning "Forehead in the Sky". Speakers of Tibetan languages, including the Sherpa people of northern Nepal, refer to the mountain as Chomolungma, Tibetan for "Mother of the World".

Sagarmatha - Everest lies on the border of Nepal and Tibet. There are two standard routes on the mountain. The first is the south east ridge climbed from Nepal, which was the route taken by New zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay on the first ascent in 1953. The route starts with the Khumbu icefall and climbs up the Western Cwm to South Col, from where the south east ridge is gained. The second route is the north ridge climbed from Tibet, and scene of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's 1924 attempt. We offer expeditions to both sides.
