Water, the essence of life, flows through the veins of our city, and in its nooks and crannies, Kathmandu harbors a unique heritage - the traditional stone spouts.

The origin of stone spouts is linked with the Kirant dynasty in Kathmandu valley. However, stone spouts are regarded as natural springs that were developed and expanded as sites for public water consumption several hundred years ago, during the Licchhavi/Malla period.
