PM: Strolling around the town, to hilltops and peaks, to objectives such as the largest cave in Nepal (Siddha Gufa), or the Martyrs Memorial, or the Patali Dwar (aka the Gateway to Heaven), etc. This is something you definitely won’t have enough. Just smell the flavours, and you’ll want to wander around to abandoned army camps or
police stations, or to the surrounding Magar villages, admiring the views and watching children at play and adults at work. This seemed to me a step back in time, to the age of innocence, untouched by “civilisation”. Overnight at Hotel.

Sightseeing in Bandiapur .Back when Bandipur was a stop no the trade route India – Tibet, Tundikhel was the setting for trade fairs, as well as a parade ground for archery contests and celebrations.
