Kathmandu the capital and most populous city of Nepal. It is located in the Kathmandu Valley, a large valley in the high plateaus in central Nepal, at an altitude of 1,400 metres (4,600 feet).
Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth.
Nepal’s rugs are mostly woven by Tibetan refugees who fled their country in the mid-20th. Tibetans consider rug weaving as a sort of meditation. They have done it during millenniums. Tibetans who live in exile have continued to weave Tibetan rugs with the same technique and designs. Kathmandu, Jawalakhel, Pokhara, and Patan are major sources for such rugs.
