- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,840 contributionsEveryone should try to see this heart of Patan at least once in their lifetime. Fascinating and mesmerizing.Written June 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sana9 contributionsHighlight of my trip to Kathmandu (or I suppose, Lalitpur!). So much history and life to see inside and around the museum. While some of the exhibits feel duplicative, others are original and so informative! It was a fun and surprisingly delightful maze. At times, I thought the museum was over only to turn a corner or enter a doorway and see a whole new section or pathway. It took me 4 hours total to navigate the experience.Written March 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mamma50Bengaluru, India369 contributionsThe Golden Temple in Patan is also known as the Hiranyavarna Mahavihara or the Kwa Baha Monastery. The monastery of Shakyamuni Buddha was build by King Bhasker Verma. Legend has it that the temple was built at a place where a rat chased a cat. Though, I did not see but was told that rats are being fed at this place.Written November 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
