Changunarayan: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Village and temple dedicated to Vishnu, on the outskirts of the rice fields of Bhaktapur.
My suggestion
The area has been seriously damaged during the 2015 earthquake (I went there the year before), so a few temples might be ruined... Information to be confirmed on site or when you are planning your trip to Nepal.

My suggestion
Even though it's in an isolated area, this is a must-see of the Kathmandu Valley. Don't be surprised if you have to pay to enter the town of Changunarayan.
