Pokhara valley is the place of both Arayans and Mongolins. Most of the settlers that came from south and west were Aryans and the rest of them who came from the north were of Mongolian orgion. Before the arrival of Aryans the Pokhara valley had no human habitation. Aryans, migrated from India, were skillful cultivators. So the fertile places of Pokhara like Hyangja, Kundahar and Bindyabasini were occupied by them and brought under cultivation. However, they preferred to live in the hills for climatic reasons. They used to send the weaker section of their society like Damai, Kami and Sarki to look after their fields. So, it is believed that the low caste people were the first inhabitants of the flat plains of Pokhara. The Muslim community also claims that they were the first settlers of Pokhara.
In the 17th century, Pokhara was ruled as a part of Kaskikot, one of the most powerful of Chaubise Kingdoms in central Nepal. Before the rise of the Shah kings there are no reliable historical accounts.Pokhara valley is the place of both Arayans and Mongolins.
