Zusammenfassung
Anyone studying the map of the Kathmandu valley is struck by the almost plastic contrast between the valley bottom and its mountainous, wooded frame dissected by U-shaped valleys. A naturally favourable situation, together with a position that controls the pass of one of the most important trade and pilgrimage routes in the central Himalayas provided decisive impulses for the development of the three largest towns of Nepal: Kathmandu, Pata and Bhaktapur. More than half of the 600.000 inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley, however, live in smaller rural settlements and have made the irrigated valley bottom the agriculturally most intensively utilised area.Verknüpfung zu Publikationen oder weiteren Datensätzen
