Kathmandu,

According to legend, the people of Kathmandu defeated an evil demon by burying it on the site that is now the Tundikhel Showgrounds. It is said that unless the ground is trampled on by horses each year, the demon will rise again wreaking a terrible vengeance on the people. Thus, each year the Ghode Jatra horse festival sees horses and riders from the Nepalese army perform incredible stunts and riding exhibitions at the showground. Other events include motorcycle displays, cultural performances and gymnastic demonstrations.
