Abstract (in English)

Dhulikhel is a small town located 30 km east of Kathmandu. Situated on the ancient trade route to Tibet, and densely populated by the ethnic Newars, the known history of the settlement has been traced back to the early Malla period (16th century) and beyond. The urban structure is particularly precious as, besides containing many examples of the woodcarving for which the Newars are famous, it is based upon an ancient Hindu planning doctrine. The town’s traditional domestic dwellings are evidence of a rich cultural heritage. However, the visible dilapidation of much of the ancient urban structure, and the lack of any organised attempt to preserve it, has led to a largely uncontrolled and rapid rate of dismantling and new building activities. During the dismantling phase, detailed building surveys - even of recognisably historic buildings - are uncommon. This absence of documentation ensures that what is lost is soon forgotten.
