Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk
Bandipur bazaar
Walk along the main street lined with Newar houses, small temples and terraces. This is a lived-in neighbourhood: ask before photographing people or interiors.
Viewpoint
Thani Mai temple hill
A path climbs from Bandipur to this small ridge shrine. The main reward is the view across the hills and, in clear skies, the Himalayan range.
Walk
Siddha Gufa cave
Near Bimalnagar, explore this spacious cave with local guidance and suitable lighting. Plan the walking approach; the ground inside may be slippery.
