Enjoy a slower pace of sightseeing — and maybe even get a little spiritual — at Bhairavnath Temple. If it's possible to venture inside, why not pause for a moment of quiet contemplation?

This place of worship in Bhaktapur is well-liked by travelers, so be sure to put it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more attractions waiting for you to appreciate after Bhairavnath Temple. Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square are close by.

I can’t say enough positive things about this hotel. As a solo woman traveler safety is my number one concern and I felt incredibly safe here. The property is extremely clean. The staff is wonder and your host Ganesh and Saroj are wonderful and will ensure you have a pleasant stay- along with the rest of the staff. This is definitely an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Thamel, Kathmandu!
