Just had my 5th massage at this place by Jima who is an excellent massage therapist and much stronger than she looks! I've had back pain and leg/knee pain for many years since ligament reconstruction surgery in the UK, so try to come here every month. Very happy that I found a simple, but honest and good place for massage in Kathmandu/Patan. Both therapists here have great training. Highly recommended.

I had a private session with Kanchan ji in Kathmandu and was very happy to find and amazing teacher with a very engaging demeanor. He challenged me and was also very understanding of need for support in postures. I am hoping to continue private lessons from the states and hope to come back to him in Nepal soon to deepen my knowledge. I believe he would be helpful for beginners or more advanced yogis.

This ancient five-story temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. There is only one other five-story temple in the area.

Its better to take a guide with you to explain the temples in the square. Try to visit in the evening, so that you can see both at day time as well as well as night time.

8. Patan Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 525 reviews
It takes all three floors of the meticulously restored royal palace to cover thirteen centuries of Nepal’s religious art history; easily Nepal’s leading museum.
Reviewed By ggm96822 - Honolulu, United States
Severely damaged in the April 2015 earthquake, the restoration since has been phenomenal; much of the original doors, windows, wood carvings and brick work have been put back into place, only replaced by very high quality new work when necessary. This was the palace of the Malla kings of Patan, originally built in 1734 AD by displacing Ha Bāhā, though it has been rebuilt several times since (it was leveled in the massive 1934 AD earthquake, for example). The collection continues to expand, too, as (sadly) other historic structures of Patan are rebuilt without preserving their centuries-old carvings but at least letting the museum display them. There are occasional dances and musical events in the courtyard, and the impressively re-established annual Tantric-inspired Kartik Naach is performed in the fall outside the museum. Guide not necessary but many people apparently miss the second, separate entrance and even fewer visit the pond behind the palace.

Most towns and cities have a durbar, or central, square. Patan's is comparatively quiet, surrounded by peaceful palace courtyards, shops and pagoda temples.
Reviewed By AZCasualTraveler - Mesa, United States
UNESCO had designated three (3) town squares in Nepal as World Heritage Sites (Cultural): (1) Kathmandu Durbar Square, (2) Bhaktapur Durbar Square and (3) Patan Durbar Square - all three of these Squares are must see places while traveling through Nepal and they are all different in their own way. The Patan Durbar Square has many distinctive and interesting temples and structures: Krishna Temple, Royal Palace Patan, Jagannarayan Temple, Keshav Narayan Temple, Char Naarayan Temple, Golden Temple and others. When we had visited Patan Durbar Square on November 2019, we found most all of the structures here had been either not affected by the 2015 earthquake or were repaired quickly - we saw only a couple of structures that were being "repaired". This is in contrast to the Kathmandu Durbar Square which had multiple structures that are still in need of earthquake damage repair when we had visited that location. In summary, the Patan Durbar Square is in excellent shape - almost all the structures show no earthquake damage and the whole area is visually quite stunning as you enter the Square. The Ancient Nepal architecture here at the Square looks very impressive and makes for good photography. Highly recommend seeing the Patan Durbar Square, and if you have time walk down through some of the side streets to see the residential areas that surrounds the Square - interesting!
