Nepal, comprising two thirds of the Himalayas, is a multi-lingual, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country with ancient history. Fascinating towns and villages exist in the mountains, hills and the Terai, and people live with the nature, developing their tradition and cultural heritage in the Himalayan environment. Kathmandu Valley was accorded the status of a World Heritage Site by United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (hereafter UNESCO) in 1979. The Valley thrives with different cultures and historic artifacts, such as temples, palaces and houses with traditional architecture. They carry with them the history of the country and are now an indispensable part of Nepal's identity. In such cultural,historical and geographical setting of Kathmandu Valley, the people's livelihood strategies and "Samudaya" (community in Nepal) have been developed uniquely.
