Proud Patan

Patan is proud for a good reason. Its Durbar Square is smaller in area than the Durbar Square of Kathmandu. But its temples are much more ornate and elegantly designed that makes them the most visually stunning Newari temples in Nepal.

The temples date back to the 14th century and and is probably the finest collection of temples and palaces in Nepal. Patan is easily accessible from Kathmandu through a short 30 minutes taxi ride. The opportunity to visit this ancient city if your already in Kathmandu should therefore not be missed.
