Getting there & away
Regular public buses run the 6km between Changu Narayan and Bhaktapur (Rs 8, 30 minutes), with the last bus around dusk. A taxi from Kathmandu costs around Rs 800 return, or Rs 250 from Bhaktapur.
By bike it's a downhill run to Bhaktapur (30 minutes), but a steep climb on the way there. Perhaps the best option is to take a bus or taxi to Changu Naryan and then walk back via the village of Jhaukhel (1½ hours). A network of walking trails lead back to Bhaktapur; just keep asking the way.
If you're headed to Nagarkot you can take the footpath east to Tharkot and catch a bus for the final uphill stretch.or details of the hike.
