See the temple and surroundings, both for the history and view of Kathmandu valley. Unless you want to check-off I did the 365 steps, the back entrance is suggested. There are still quite a few steps to get to the main platform, do this site early in your day. Have time to explore both the site and the shops. November 2017, there is site construction/rehab from earthquake damage. Enjoy the monkeys as they are a definite entertaining exhibition. Make time to visit the Tanka Studio the talk will help you select any artwork, what to look for and tips on choosing quality products. Understand what some of the Mandalas truly represent. Must See... Yes
Excellent site to visit. site gets busy and crowded the closer you get to sunset. Super views. Wear or bring footwear's you don't mind getting wet as tide comes in you will need to wade throm ugh ankle deep water.
The Mosque is nicely located among Georgian houses. You can see straight away that it's a different building and there are Muslims visiting often. Beautiful building.
