Nagarkot

The Changu Museum, which has been in operation for 11 years and is the only private museum in the country, not only preserves some of the most astounding and eccentric relics in Nepal, but also focuses on the history and origins of Changunarayan itself. Changunarayan, a short drive from Kathmandu, is nestled on a hilltop between Bhaktapur and Nagarkot. The main draw of the village is the temple located at the top of a long ascent of brick steps that cuts through the neat and orderly town, which is named as one of Nepal’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
