After visiting Bhaktapur, we took a bus up to see the ancient Hindu Vishnu temple Changu Narayan before it closed. It is considered to be the oldest temple in Nepal with pieces dating back to 325 A.D.

We were lucky because it had just been storming hours before but we managed to see this sunset. This overlooks the Changu village.

Warning: there seems to be a "tourist price" for these buses. We found out where everyone is charged 15-20 RPS we were charged 50. They do this because you can't understand any better. The difference in US dollars is only cents haha but still, I hate that feeling of being ripped off =S

"A beautiful hotel that provided some calm in the chaos (wonderful chaos!) of Kathmandu. Ideally it would be closer to some of the more lively evening spaces in the city but the restaurants on site were great quality and the staff and service second to none."

5/5 Excellent

"Great hotel, great location, amazing staff"

5/5 Excellent

Very nice hotel with a great breakfast selection

"Really nice stay at the Hyatt. The grounds are very well maintained and the Suite access was a definite plus. Only area of improvement is communication of the staff. We requested an early breakfast as we were leaving before 6am for a flight, which was confirmed multiple times by the staff. Unfortunately it was not communicated to the morning team so no breakfast was organised for us when we checked out. A small but frustrating issue. Would stay again though!"

"This is a WONDERFUL hotel. The staff is so kind, helpful and attentive. It is very clean There is not a lot in the area BUT the restaurants are delicious. There is a rooftop restaurant that is really good and has nice views for Nepal. The bathrooms could be improved because they flood when you shower and become a fall hazard but other than that 5 stars! "
