Reconstructing history in Kathmandu

"Once severely damaged by the 2015 quake, the square's recovery has been intensely communal: over 300 policemen and volunteers helped recover artefacts from debris, while master artisans work long days in outdoor workshops hewing and carving sal wood and piecing beams together with fragments from original buildings. The slow, meticulous restoration has faced criticism for its pace, but locals and craftsmen insist the sites are integral to daily life and merit the careful, heritage-focused approach." - Delle Chan

Essential guide to Kathmandu, Nepal - SilverKris

"This historic durbar square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring old temples, palaces and sculptures; the surrounding back alleys reveal traditional craftsmen at work and a dense concentration of historic architecture that rewards wandering on foot." - SilverKris

A must-visit in Kathmandu Valley! Patan Museum is beautifully restored and showcases Nepal’s rich history through stunning bronze, wood, and stone artworks. Peaceful courtyards, well-curated exhibits, and excellent explanations make it both relaxing and educational.

Definitely one of the must-see places in Kathmandu. It's good to just sit and watch the life around. How the daylife is going on between local people and tourists. Some snack, coffee, or tea. Good food and day will be significantly different. Just go and try it. Thank you🤩

The place was very crowded when we visited on weekends so just be prepared to expect that. I would have enjoyed it more if I went on weekdays. The place was very beautiful and totally different from visiting other landmarks. You'd truly appreciate mankind and even get amazed how these architectures were built without modern technologies help and a thousand years back. Every detail of the architecture made me in awe of how crazy people used to build before. Definitely will give you a different perspective in life. Have lots of nearby restaurants and cafes so that you can enjoy the view while having a chill from inside the establishments. Had no trouble parking since they have a designated parking area for motorcycles, and a nearby private parking area for four-wheelers.

This place is awesome, y'all gotta visit this place in Kathmandu. This place has amazing architecture, these buildings and temples are cultural heritage of Nepal. There's also an museum which Is a must visit for history lovers. The weird thing I noticed that the museum charges different rates for different nationalises(Which feels kinda racist), but anyways the place must be on your list along with Kathmandu and Bhaktapur darbar Square.

Patan Durbar Square is a beautiful and historic place full of old temples and traditional buildings. It shows Nepal’s rich culture and art. The area is lively with local people and festivals. A must-visit to experience history and local traditions up close.

Great place and perhaps not as busy as the one in Kathmandu. Also, local artists sell at lower prices (in Thamel they sell the products bought in Patan at higher prices). Make sure to either use a guide online or guide on site (yes, they might overcharge you for local standards) to understand the meaning behind the sculptures, etc…

Very nice traditional place. It has changed a lot and nowadays, it has lots of tourists, specially Nepali. This is the only tourist place in Nepal where one does not have to pay an entry fee
