In the beginning Kathmandu valley was a lake. River Bagmati made its way to the south of the valley and the water drained outside. The Valley their became fertile and suitable for settlement and people started to live here.
Nepal’s recorded history began with the Kiratis, who arrived in the Kathmandu in the 7th or 8th century BCE from the East. The Kirats ruled for about 1225 years (800 BCE-300 CE), they had a total of 29 kings during that time. Their first and remembered king were Yotamba Haang, better known as Yolambor, who is mentioned in the epic Mahabharata.
The first record of the word ‘Nepal’ is found in ancient Indian annals such as Puranas from the 4th century A.D where an area is known as.’Newal‘ or sometimes as ‘Newar’ is mentioned, referring to what is now known as the Kathmandu valley. However, the area of the sovereign state of Nepal has changed from time to time during its history, expanding and shrinking in an area since ancient times.
