This ancient town, north post of
Yala or Patan City, was a final battlefield for
Kiratas and Lichhavis. About 250 A.D., Lichhavis attacked this post killing 800 Kiratas who were guarding at the post. In
newari language, 800 means chyasa and the town was named chyasa. Later, it was pronounced as Chyasal. Chyasal is famous for its preserved, traditional culture. The main occupation of the residents of this place is Agriculture and business. Nowadays, the trend is shifting and more and more people are attracted towards service based occupation. Chyasal has been conserving its cultural heritage and rituals over thousands of years now. Many festivals, the ancient rituals and ancient heritage are also preserved and are kept safe in conservation. ==Location==
