We only stayed one night. Enjoyed the sunset view / walk on Thani Mai and sunrise walk to Tundikhel. The sunset walk and the sunset view in Thani mai was amazing. The walk to the Bazaar was very enjoyable with the pedastrianised streets. Kind of a European feel. It will be a good stop destination from Kathmandu to Pokhara or the other way.

Bandipur is a "wheels-free" village. Although small in size, it is quaint and fascinating with a variety of cuisine on offer in small cozy restaurants. What makes it stand out is the Newari style of architecture which is very well preserved even today. Although not on the regular tourist route, it is must visit place - a two-night, three-day stay is good enough unless you wish to go trekking.

Very traditional village to enjoy local culture. Set high above the valley there are nice walks around the village, and further to the Siddha Cave and the village of Ramkot which is like going back in time. The cave entrance including guide is 200NPR. Coming back is fairly steep and quite strenuous but you can also carry on down to the main road and take a taxi to Bandipur. Ramkot is a fairly easy walk, couple of hours each way at most. After the noise and pollution of Kathmandu and the commercialisation of Pokhara, Bandipur is an excellent place to wind down.

Bandipur is a pearl. If you decide to go there, save at least 2 days! Walking around this town, especially to Ramkot (village that feels like stepping into a movie or going back to the past) will be an amazing experience which you will never forget. Cars and horns are forbidden in Bandipur so the only sounds you can hear are goats, cows, birds, joyfull children or foodsellers.

We relished the opportunity to escape motorbikes and cars after Kathmandu. Bandipur seems to be a little known escape from the urban hustle and worth the tiny extra effort to get there. The renovation of the tourist centre is excellent with retention of century old homes. These made an interesting contrast to the surrounding streets of Bandipur, with a mix of more modern as well as more basic homes and the integration of agricultural practices in semi-urban living. We walked to Ramkot which was fascinating.

A very quaint old village yet very beautiful and serene. Gives you a feel of Europe sue to its small ground+1 structure and beautiful architect of the buildings. Old town but still so very well maintained, best part is no vehicles allowed in the market street, travelers can walk around leisurely and it has lot many small cafes and restaurants. One can get a great aroma of freshly brewed coffee as well as it has many local food which are great value for money. I would avoid to have a short stay next time, Bandipur is atleast worth a 3-4 nights trip for people who love to stay away from hustle and bustle of the city.
