Changu Narayan Temple
Perched atop a narrow ridge due north of Bhaktapur, the beautiful and historic temple of Changu Narayan is a living museum of carvings from the Licchavi period (4th to 9th centuries). The temple is a Unesco World Heritage site and rightly so, because the statues, and the temple itself, are genuine works of art. Despite being only 6km from Bhaktapur and 22km from Kathmandu, the temple attracts relatively few visitors, which is part of its appeal.

Changu Museum
The single brick-lined street in Changu village climbs from the car park and bus stand past the Changu Museum, which offers a quirky introduction to traditional village life. The displays are scattered around a 169-year-old house and the owner will give you a whistlestop tour of such oddities as a rhino-skin shield, leather coins from the 2nd century and some 225-year-old rice!
