Panauti is a small town in Nepal which is known for its perfect blend of history, culture and natural beauty. Nestled in the hills and trees, visiting the town feels like stepping back in time. Unspoiled nature and two rivers flowing along the borders make sure that you are greeted with exquisite landscapes. This medieval town still holds dearly to its age-old traditions and festivals. There are many famous fifteenth-century temples in the town which are mostly well-preserved. Though the buildings and temples suffered a huge damage in a recent earthquake, the city is still a beautiful place to visit when you are in Nepal.
