Bandipur Overnight Escape

A night in Bandipur, a Newari hilltop town with a car-free bazaar and mountain views.

Bandipur sits on a hilltop halfway between Pokhara and Kathmandu. Its 18th-century merchant houses still line a car-free bazaar, and your guide walks you through the town and its trading history. Next morning you can watch the sunrise over the Marsyangdi valley from Thani Mai temple. We arrange the private transfers, a night in a heritage guesthouse and breakfast.

Questions before you book

Is there much to do?

Not much, and that's on purpose. You walk the street, walk out to Tundikhel, visit the cave and sit on a rooftop. It's a place to slow down between two cities, and it does that very well.

Can I get there by public transport?

Yes. Any bus between Kathmandu and Pokhara drops you at Dumre, then a short local bus or jeep ride gets you up the hill. We usually arrange a private transfer instead, which is easier with luggage and comes with our Bandipur overnight.

Is it good for families?

Yes, very. A street with no traffic is a rare thing to give children in Nepal, and the walking is gentle.

Do I pay anything online?

No. You send your dates and pay nothing now. We check guide and permit availability, then reply on WhatsApp or by email with your day-by-day plan and a confirmed price, usually within a few hours, always within a day.

When do I pay?

Nothing until you’re happy. We agree the deposit together, and you pay the balance in Pokhara.

Can I change my dates?

Free date changes up to 15 days before departure.

What if you cancel for weather?

Full refund if we cancel for weather or safety.
