    Tips

    December 21, 2022

    Manga Hiti is the oldest Dhunge Dhara in Patan still working. It was built in 570 AD.
    A dhunge dhara is a traditional stone drinking fountain in Nepal. It is an intricately carved stone waterway through which water flows uninterrupted from underground sources. Dhunge dharas are part of a comprehensive drinking water supply system, commissioned by various rulers of Ancient and Medieval Nepal.
    After the introduction of modern, piped water systems, starting in the late 19th century, this old system has fallen into disrepair and some parts of it are lost forever. Nevertheless, many people of Nepal still rely on the old dhunge dharas daily.
