- Patan Durbar Square - The Bagmati River is the only thing that divides Patan from Kathmandu; but at one time these were separate kingdoms.Patan Durbar Square is one of seven UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley. Locals often refer to Patan by its Sanskrit name, ‘Lalitpur’, which means ‘city of beauty’, a fitting name as Patan is a hub of Buddhist and Hindu culture, full of religious art, temples, and monasteries. Patan Durbar Square holds the greatest concentration of Newari architecture anywhere in the valley.
In the fascinating narrow streets surrounding the square, there are more than 600 stupas. The Patan Museum is the restored palace of the 17th century Malla Kings and houses bronze statues and religious objects, some dating back to the 11th century. The gilded doors and windows open to the Krishna Mandir Temple which was built by King Siddhi Narasigh Malla in 1637 and is still in use. The temple has three floors and 21 golden pinnacles. The first floor enshrines Krishna, the second Shiva, and the third Lokeshwor.
