Sanku is a beautiful historic and religious small town in Kathmandu district, about 20 km South West from Kathmandu central. Sankhu is a popular destination for international volunteers. Major attractions of Sankhu are the rich Newari culture and the friendly local people. Sankhu is located in the northeast Kathmandu Valley, close to the Sali Nadi River. It is listed as a World Heritage of UNESCO and is famous for the Swastani temple and the Holi River, and for the Hindu and Bajrajogini temples. Sankhu has faced substantial challenges since being added to the tentative World Heritage List in 2008. The 2015 earthquakes inflicted catastrophic damage, destroying over 65 of its buildings, displacing more than 2,000 residents, and exacerbating an ongoing trend of outmigration. Although some restoration efforts have been undertaken, much work remains to revive Sankhu s cultural heritage and restore a sense of community. The preservation of its unique history and architecture is crucial for the long-term resilience of this significant site.
