"The city of a thousand golden roofs". Patan truly is like an open air museum. Plan two days to visit it. Highlights of the visit: the Royal palace; the Golden Gate, silversmiths masterpiece in Patan; the museum (located within the same palace) which holds all Nepal's artistic wealth; Krishna temple, a blend of Indian and Mongol styles; Kumbheshwar, one of the rare temples to have kept its five roof storeys, the Golden Temple, Patan's gem.
