Chabahil
Neighborhood in Kathmandu in Bagmati Province, Nepal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chabahil (Nepali: चाबहिल) (also Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward 07[1]) is an ancient neighborhood in northeast Kathmandu in Nepal. It is famous for its Licchavi stupa, called the Dhando Chaitya, considered by many historians to be the oldest Buddhist Stupa in the valley. Currently, Chabahil has become a thriving residential and commercial area of Kathmandu. Two of the most important temples in Kathmandu, Pashupatinath and Guhyeswari are situated very close to Chabahil. These two temples, dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Sati are considered to be more than a thousand years old.[citation needed]
