Changunarayan, an ancient site within the Kathmandu Valley and one of its seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, often receives fewer visitors due to its somewhat remote location to the north of Bhaktapur. However, the Nagarkot Community Homestay offers a convenient option as it is situated a short downhill stroll away from Changunarayan. The journey begins at Bastola Gaun and leads you through picturesque farmlands to Changunarayan. Throughout the hike, your guide will share captivating tales about the history and culture of this predominantly Newar town. Alongside the historic temples at Changunarayan, some of which boast inscriptions dating back to 464 B.C.E., you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of the entire Kathmandu Valley and the city. Additionally, there's a compact museum where you can admire exquisite artefacts from Nepal's traditional way of life. The hike is classified as easy, making it accessible to individuals with varying levels of fitness.
