Bagmati zone, Nuwakot district lies northeast of Kathmandu valley. The name, ‘Nuwakot', is made up of two words ‘Nawa' and ‘Kort'. ‘Nawa' means Nine in Nepali and ‘Kort' means sacred religious sites at the top of a hill. During the 18th Century, it used to serve as an important stopover on the Tibetan-Kathmandu Valley trade route. Referring to the pages of history, the Great King Prithvi Narayan Shah invaded Nuwakot which was under the ruling of Jaya Prakash Malla and made Nuwakot as the capital of his ruling area. At an elevation of 900 m, the ancient citadel stands proud as if untouched by changing times,. The seven-story palace fortress was built during the reign of King Prithivi Narayan. It takes about 3 hrs/75 km to reach the historical city by land transfer from the capital city Kathmandu. Newar, Brahmin, Chhetri, Tamang and Magar is the main inhabitant of Nuwakot.
