From Melamchi, take the road towards the Kathmandu Valley, which will lead you to Changunarayan. Follow the signs for Changunarayan Rd. The journey should take approximately 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic. There may be a toll fee for using certain roads, so keep some cash ready.

Public Transportation (Bus)
For those using public transport, you can take a local bus from Melamchi to Kathmandu. Once in Kathmandu, transfer to a bus heading towards Bhaktapur. Inform the bus driver of your destination, Changunarayan, as some buses may not stop directly at the park. The bus ride from Melamchi to Kathmandu may take about 1.5 hours, and then from Kathmandu to Changunarayan, it could take an additional 1 hour. Expect to pay around NPR 200-300 for the bus fare. Once you arrive in Changunarayan, walk along Changunarayan Rd for about 15 minutes to reach the entrance of Changunarayan Park.

A more direct option is to hire a taxi from Melamchi or Kathmandu to Changunarayan Park. If starting from Melamchi, negotiate the fare upfront, which should typically be around NPR 2000-3000. From Kathmandu, the taxi fare may be higher, approximately NPR 3000-4000. The taxi will take you directly to the park entrance, making this option convenient if you are traveling with luggage or in a group.
