Kathmandu Valley
The Kathmandu Valley, in central Nepal, is an ancient centre of both Newar Buddhism and, more recently, the Tibetan-Buddhist diaspora, with great stupas at Boudhanath and Swayambhunath. In exile, the Nyingma masters Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (who established Shechen Monastery near Boudhanath) and Dudjom Rinpoche were closely associated with the valley.
