Patan

Renowned as the city of fine arts, Patan (Lalitpur) is a tranquil open-air museum of exquisite Newari craftsmanship, sacred courtyards, and ancient metalwork. Separated from Kathmandu by the Bagmati River, its UNESCO-listed Durbar Square glimmers with gilded statues, multi-tiered stone temples, and centuries of living artistic heritage.
