Patan, also known as Lalitpur, is a historic city located 5 km south of Kathmandu in the Kathmandu Valley. It is famous for its traditional art and culture and a must visit destination for fine art lovers. Patan is home to dozens of Buddhist and Hindu temples and over a thousand monuments filled with wood and stone carvings, metal statues and ornate architecture. This weekend our photowalk was at Patan. Here are a few selected photographs taken by the participants of photowalk, followed by our official video of the event.
