It is situated some 20 km from Kathmandu, but it takes like one hour drive to get there. But it’s worth it. One of my favourite places during my stay in Nepal. Beautiful temple with stone and wood carvings. The temple is on top a hill. From the entrance you climb the steps through the village passing artisan studios and shops. According to legends Changu Narayan temple existed as early as 325 a.d. Read a legend about Changu Narayan before you go. A real hidden gem.
