Walking through Bandipur feels like stepping back in time. The stone-paved streets are lined with traditional Newari houses that seem to echo stories from long ago give the town a charming old-world vibe. Once a busy trading hub along the India-Tibet route, Bandipur holds on to its history with pride, making it a perfect spot for anyone who loves stories of the past.


Views That Take Your Breath Away

Bandipur, perched high on a hilltop, offers some of the most stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Whether it’s the soft glow of sunrise or the golden hues of sunset, the mountains here will surely leave you speechless but don’t forget to talk about them when you return though!


Dive into Local Culture


Bandipur is a celebration of Nepal’s rich traditions. The locals, mostly from the Newar community, are not only welcoming but also proud to share their culture. From savoring authentic Newari dishes like yomari to joining in on colorful festivals, it’s an experience that warms your heart and fills your soul.


A Little Adventure, A Lot of Fun


If you’re up for some adventure, Bandipur has you covered. We hope that you are not afraid of dark because in Bandipur, you can explore Siddha Gufa, Nepal’s largest cave, it’s dark, mysterious, and downright exciting.

Bandipur doesn’t have a time machine but it is the kind of place where time slows down. With no cars in the main square and a peaceful atmosphere all around, it’s the perfect retreat from life’s hustle and bustle.
