Find a spot to sit and watch the world go by at Dattatreya Square. If its well-trodden paths could talk, this historic town square would have plenty of tales to tell.

Dattatreya Square is a worthwhile place to start out your day in Bhaktapur. This public square comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

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!
