Patan Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the heart of Lalitpur, just across the Bagmati River from Kathmandu. This medieval royal palace complex is a hub for stunning Newari architecture and intricate wood carvings. Photo-travelers will find an abundance of photogenic spots amidst its picturesque courtyards and temples, such as the Krishna Mandir with its unique stone craftsmanship and octagonal Krishna Temple. The Golden Temple (Hiranya Varna Mahavihar) is a standout with its gilded façade. For optimal lighting, early mornings or late afternoons are best. Remember to capture the bustling life of artisans and local hawkers, which adds a vibrant, dynamic layer to your compositions. Purchase a ticket to gain full access to the square’s interior courtyards and museums where you can get unique angles.
