# Panauti

Use the Indreshwar Mahadev Temple area as your starting point. Follow the old lanes toward the riverside, then return to the center for lunch.

**Best time to visit**

Spring and autumn are good starting points for a walking visit. In wet weather, allow for slippery paving.

**How to get there**

Travel by road from Kathmandu via Banepa. If using shared transport, confirm the last connection back before you leave.

**What to do**

- Explore the Indreshwar Mahadev Temple area
- Follow the old-town lanes to the riverside
- Stop for lunch near the bazaar

**Where to stay**

A day trip works well. Stay locally if you want an early walk before returning to Kathmandu.

**Local tips**

Respect active worship spaces and ask before taking photos of people or ceremonies.
