#summerdestinations During my summer break, I explored the historic treasures of Kathmandu Valley. My journey began in Bhaktapur, where the "City of Devotees" greeted me with its ancient charm. The grandeur of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, with the magnificent Nyatapola Temple and the intricately carved 55-Window Palace, was a highlight of my visit. Secondly, to Kathmandu Durbar Square, the energy of the city was palpable. Surrounded by historic pagodas and palaces, I was particularly fascinated by the boudha, soyambhu monkey temple, home of living goddess, and the detailed artistry of Hanuman Dhoka Palace.I concluded my trip in Patan, a city renowned for its artistic heritage. Patan Durbar Square, with the stunning Krishna Mandir and its intricate stone carvings, left a lasting impression. The seamless blend of Hindu and Buddhist elements in the architecture was truly captivating. Here's a summary based on the Kathmandu UNESCO sites I described: Address: - Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Bhaktapur, Nepal - Kathmandu Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal - Patan Durbar Square, Patan, Nepal Ambiance/Facilities: - Historic squares surrounded by ancient temples, palaces, and courtyards. - Traditional Newar architecture with intricate carvings. - Museums, galleries, and shops offering local handicrafts. - Restaurants and cafes with views of the squares.

If I come to Nepal again, I would choose to stay in Patan rather than Kathmandu. It's much cleaner and quieter here, and tourists can stroll leisurely through the streets and alleys, experiencing the slow pace of life of the locals. Patan is located about 3 kilometers south of Kathmandu city and is the center of Mahayana Vajrayana Buddhism. The city's Golden Temple is a rectangular, three-tiered pagoda-style temple. From the roof, the large latticed windows between the eaves, to the walls below and the three large doors, all are covered with gilded copper products. The entrance fee is 100 rupees, and we entered through the back door where no one was watching. After visiting the temple, we voluntarily went to the front door to pay for our tickets. During our visit to the temple, we happened to witness drumming and singing, creating an exceptionally harmonious and sweet atmosphere. Breathing in the fragrance that filled the courtyard and watching the flickering candles, a sense of happiness and satisfaction emerged! The entrance fee for Patan Durbar Square is 1000 rupees, but it's actually quite easy to dodge the fee. Just go to the square around six or seven in the evening and enter through the small paths around it. There are entrances everywhere, and no one is there to check.

The Patan Museum displays the traditional sacred art of Nepal in an illustrious architectural setting. Its home is an old residential court of Patan Darbar, one of the royal palaces of the former Malla kings of the Kathmandu Valley. Its gilded door and window face one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The Patan Museum Café has been crafted to complement the superb period ambience achieved by the architects and builders of the Museum itself. Located in the inner courtyard of the Keshav Narayan Chowk in Patan Durbar, the café will offer a mix of traditional and western delicacies and light meals in a setting unparalleled in the Kathmandu valley. The café area may also be booked for special evening functions for classical dance or music, for receptions, banquets, theatre, etc #mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#awesomepic#summervacation#celebratewithtrip

#tripblazers #Patanmuseum #mytripvlog #summervacation Patan Museum is housed in a courtyard within the Northernmost building complex of the Durbar area. The most picturesque setting of the palace that has been created in so small a place by piety and pride is known now to the people as Keshav Narayan Chowk after a temple standing at the center of the courtyard dedicated to Keshavnarayan- a form of Lord Vishnu.This part is recorded in the history as Chaukot Durbar or four-cornered-fort-palace.In an International Campaign by UNESCO for safeguarding the monuments of Kathmandu valley, the Austrian Government joined hands with Nepal Government to preserve Patan Darbar Square.

After landed at Tribhuvan International Airport, I accidentally met a new friend and we took a taxi to Patan. It's 1,200 NRP for the taxi and we get to Patan Durbar Square which is quite old, but incredible. I enjoy walking around on narrow road with so many cars and motorbike. We saw people sitting, walking, enjoying their normal day as simple as that. There're also many old shops to see old fashion lifestyle and beautiful antiques to collect. #nepal

Lalitpur Patan is a town where I stayed because I mistakenly thought the address was Kathmandu 🤣 In Korea, the Patan area is a kind of cultural village? It seems to be a traditional village. There are a lot of ruins, cultural heritages, temples, etc. in Patan. In fact, when you walk, between houses, between shops, Some of them look like wells, or even small stone statues. They say they are all cultural heritages. I made a mistake and stayed there, but as time passed, I thought it was a good idea to stay in Lalitpur, which is cheaper than Kathmandu, which is too crowded.😁 #Overseas travel #Nepal #Lalitpur #Patan

#nepaltrip The place was very crowded when we visited on weekends so just be prepared to expect that. I would have enjoyed it more if I went on weekdays. The place was very beautiful and totally different from visiting other landmarks. You'd truly appreciate mankind and even get amazed how these architectures were built without modern technologies help and a thousand years back. Every detail of the architecture made me in awe of how crazy people used to build before. Definitely will give you a different perspective in life. Have lots of nearby restaurants and cafes so that you can enjoy the view while having a chill from inside the establishments. Had no trouble parking since they have a designated parking area for motorcycles, and a nearby private parking area for four-wheelers.

📍 Patan, Bouddha Stupa, Thamel 🚇 InDrive or Pathao app 🍜 Momo, Local Thali set 🏠 Plenty of options available in Thamel 💡If you’ve only got 24 hours in Kathmandu, you can still soak in a lot, culture, food, and energy. I started my day in Thamel, wandered through its chaotic charm and buzzing alleys, then made my way to the peaceful stupa of Boudhanath, and ended the day with a magical evening in Patan. My top tip: Eat local as much as you can. The Newari Khaja Set is an absolute must-try, rich in flavor, culture, and variety. You’ll find lots of local eateries across the city, but I especially recommend trying it in Patan, where you can enjoy both the food and the beautiful heritage ambiance. #historicallandmarks #localguides #kathmandu
