Kirtipur Old Town Heritage Walk
Take a Kirtipur heritage walk through Bagh Bhairab, Uma Maheshwar and the old town’s Newar streets.
About this spot
Kirtipur’s hilltop old town has temple courtyards, brick houses and stepped lanes. Plan a longer heritage walk linking Bagh Bhairab and Uma Maheshwar, with time to read signs and stop at local eateries. Allow roughly two hours and wear shoes suited to uneven steps. Follow shrine access rules and avoid treating residential courtyards as public attractions.
Weapons displayed at Bagh Bhairab recall the town’s battles with Gorkha forces.
