KHOKANA

Khokana is another typical newari village which lies 5 km southeast of Lalitpur's Jawlakhel. It is the intact place to observe and study the original and authentic lifestyle, tradition, art and culture of the Newar community. The sacred Rudrayani temple of the Hindus, Buddhist monastery, historical Guthis, Mandalas and tightly packed rows of ancient mud houses are the highlights of Khokana. The people of Khokana have preserved the tradition of their ancestors till date. The place is a treasure trove of traditional crafts, and is known for the production of mustard oil.
