Midway on the Prithivi Highway between the capital Kathmandu and the resort town of Pokhara lies Bandipur, a picturesque Newar town that still retains much of its centuries-old appeal.

Known as one of the most charming towns, Bandipur is a living museum of Newari culture, a beautifully preserved village and its main street with traditional row houses. Buildings of Bandipur have been reborn as cafes and lodges, temples and civic buildings have been pulled back from the edge of ruin. With its 18th-century architecture, and outdoor dining, it has a feel of European style.

Bandipur was an important stop on the India–Tibet trade route for centuries until it was by passed by the Prithvi Highway in the late 60s. While it has since turned to tourism, it remains very much a living community, bustling with farmers and traders going about their own business.

Bandipur is situated on a ridge above the highway town of Dumre, and presents sightseers with a heady mix of history, architecture, incredible views, awesome caves and unspoiled landscapes. Located at an altitude of 1,030m, Bandipur has been described as a natural view tower, providing a spectacular panorama of the entire Annapurna Range plus the peaks of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Langtang to the Marsyangdi valley which is below 500m. Apart from the stunning views of the Himalaya and the Marsyangdi Valley, a visit to the town is an opportunity to get a close look at Newar cultural life that reflects the refined civilization of the Kathmandu Valley. Bandipur is also a great place for adventure sports like paragliding, caving, rock climbing, rafting and hiking.
