Bandipur


Bandipur, originally uploaded by jk10976.

If you drive up to Bandipur, at the top of the hill where the motor road ends, you will be greeted by a neighborhood lined with historic Newar houses. This is the main Bandipur Bazaar (Map). Modern, but with its traditional values still intact, it presents a potpourri of old houses, temples of great religious significance and historical architecture. This medieval-looking quarter is the heart of Bandipur. As with Newar towns elsewhere, Bandipur also boasts year-round festivals and a plethora of other cultural shows.
