9.2/10 Wonderful! (157 reviews)

The staff is very friendly and are helpful. The courtyard makes the place and the restaurant has great food. Breakfast was great too with many western and Asian options. The room was average with all that you would need. The only negative was the bathroom. Cracking paint and tub, mould and just looks poor. I am sure some rooms are better. It was clean at least for the most part but it does bring the hotel quality down.

Popular places to visit

After visiting Bhaktapur, we took a bus up to see the ancient Hindu Vishnu temple Changu Narayan before it closed. It is considered to be the oldest temple in Nepal with pieces dating back to 325 A.D.

We were lucky because it had just been storming hours before but we managed to see this sunset. This overlooks the Changu village.

Warning: there seems to be a "tourist price" for these buses. We found out where everyone is charged 15-20 RPS we were charged 50. They do this because you can't understand any better. The difference in US dollars is only cents haha but still, I hate that feeling of being ripped off =S

Changu Narayan Temple is just one of the places to see in Changunarayan, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Amble around this culturally rich area's picturesque gardens, or seek out the hiking trails.

Rebuilding the temples destroyed by the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. It's been years since it happened but they are still rebuilding. Some temples are easier to build than others. There's something magical about walking somewhere so ancient with people living normal lives.
