using the old pilgrim's route or a pleasant half-day hike along the ridge from Nagarkote
on the eastern valley rim. The lavishly decorated two-tiered temple was rebuilt after a
fire in 1702, but the earliest inscription in the valley dated 467 A.D. testifies to the
considerable talents of the Licchavi King Mandeva I, Nepal's first great historical
figure. The temple stands in a spacious courtyard, littered with priceless stone
sculptures from the 4th to 9th century A.D. (Licchavi period). This golden age of
classical Newari art produced masterpieces that were entirely religious in character.

bahals or courtyards and 55 major temples. Well known among these are the Krishna Mandir,
Hiranya Varna Mahavihar, Kumbheshwar temple, Jagatnarayan temple & the Mahabouddha
temple. Patan is enclosed within 4 Buddhist stupas set on the four-corners of the outer
boundaries of this ancient city. A tour of Patan would also include a visit to the Tibetan
refugee village to witness the hand weaving of Tibetan carpets using age-old methods of
dyeing and finishing. Three or four persons at each loom weaving traditional designs,
chatting & singing can also be seen here.
