Bungamati is a small, picturesque town in the Kathmandu region that's famous for being the birthplace of a popular regional god, Patan, Rato Machhendranath.

My suggestion

If you have the time during your tour of Nepal, go for a few hours' stroll along its little paved streets, particularly if the Rato Machhendranath Festival is being held.

Not far from Patan, the little Newar village of Bungamati has a particularly peaceful atmosphere.

My suggestion

Linger in the chowk (the village's public square): sit down in the October sunshine and savour the bucolic charm of Bungamati. Before going for a walk through the paddy fields towards Khokana.
