Bandipur Bazaar
बन्दीपुर बजार
The stone-paved main street, closed to motor vehicles, is lined with three-storey brick houses built by 18th-century Newar merchants, now packed with cafés and guesthouses.
In the 18th century, Newar merchants from Bhaktapur established a trading post on this ridge, and Bandipur became an important market town on the trade routes between India and Tibet. The main street is closed to motor vehicles. Along its stone-paved path stand three-storey brick houses with carved wooden windows, many of which have been converted into cafés, guesthouses and small shops. In the middle of the street are the Bindabasini Temple, the Mahalaxmi Temple and the old library. The early morning and evening are the most atmospheric times, and you can drink tea on a terrace while watching the distant mountains.
