I found the trek up comparatively easy to others I had done. Until I was passed buy a guy literally skipping through the stream. I later stayed at his guest house, total coincidence but it was lovely. Hotel evening view. Smaller hotel, but gave me real interactions with the local people. But also a shower imported from Europe and it’s honestly one of the best showers I ever had !! The weather was flawless when I was there. I went up the surrounding peaks, ate cake, and spent one day sat outside my room in the beautiful sunshine eating yak cheese. I’d recommend the trek hightoy, and would probably spend longer here than I did. I had friends who explored much further. And I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t (cake and yak cheese ????????), but even though it’s a long way, I’ll probably return one day as my heart never felt so at peace.

I thought the Franz Joseph glazier in NZ was big until I saw this! Starting at the Base Camp below the Everest Mountain range, it's amazing force, moving billions of tonnes of snow, ice & rock is breathtaking.

This is the main square upon entry to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Entrance fee for foreigners is NPR 1,500 per person. The main attractions are the Golden Gate and Nyatapola Temple. Incredible woodcrafts and architecture. It is listed under the UNESCO World Heritage site at the Kathmandu Valley where the site is under the threat of earthquake especially in 2015. A precious heritage that worth a visit!

Most towns and cities have a durbar, or central, square. Patan's is comparatively quiet, surrounded by peaceful palace courtyards, shops and pagoda temples.

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!
