Ichangu Narayan Temple

The temple features a two-tiered pagoda structure with ancient Garuda statues and various Vaishnavite symbols decorating the temple courtyard and walls.

The fifth-century temple, constructed during the Lichhavi dynasty under King Haridutta, stands as one of four major Narayan temples in Kathmandu Valley.

The temple serves as a central location for Hindu worship, where devotees perform religious ceremonies during Vishnu Jayanti and other significant festivals.

Visitors can reach the temple via microvans from Kathmandu's Ratna Park to Aadeswor Temple, followed by a two-kilometer walk through the hills.

The temple's location on Ichangu hills provides an observation point over Kathmandu, while its structure contains detailed wood carvings and stone sculptures.
