Overview of Bandipur Heritage Village Tour
Step into a pedestrianized 18th-century Newari mountain museum perched on a scenic ridge between Kathmandu and Pokhara with Annapurna panoramas.
Bandipur is one of Nepal's most charming and flawlessly preserved medieval hill settlements. Located high on a saddle ridge above the Marsyangdi River valley halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara, Bandipur was once a bustling commercial stop on the India-Tibet trade route. Its traffic-free main street is lined with 18th-century tier-roofed Newari merchant mansions, carved wooden balconies, outdoor cafes, and sweeping views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu ranges.
A 3-day relaxing heritage getaway featuring boutique restored mansion hotels, nature hikes to Siddha Cave, and sunset vistas from Thani Mai.
