It is one of the most pleasant and charming hill towns in Nepal, and its view of the central Himalayas and the Marsyangdi valley is famous. Bandipur's other big draws are its well-kept village on top of a high ridge, its main street lined with traditional row houses, and its old-time cultural atmosphere. It is a living museum of Newari culture with beautiful architecture from the 18th century. Overnight in Bandipur.
