@travel_diaries7: Panauti, a picturesque town located around 32 km from kathmandu. Panauti is a hidden gem known for its rich cultural heritage and medieval architecture, including the historic Indreshwar Mahadev Temple. Nestled at the confluence of two rivers, it features charming narrow streets and traditional Newari houses. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil atmosphere, local festivals, and scenic hiking opportunities in the surrounding hills. Despite its beauty, Panauti often remains overlooked by tourists, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic Nepali experience.
