One of the three royal cities of Nepal, Patan or Lalitpur or Yala is something to feast your eyes on. Patan is a famous tourist place in the country and is primarily known for its rich architecture, fantastic wood carvings and an air of spirituality.
It is believed before the disastrous earthquake of 2015, Patan housed more than 1200 monuments, each unique in its own way. However, there still are enough tourist attractions to relish. Most people prefer a day-trip here from Kathmandu, since it is close proximity to the capital, it would be nice to stay two or more days to enjoy the beauty of its courtyards and squares at leisurely pace.
