Take a public bus or a private vehicle from Kathmandu and you should be at Bungmati after 45 minutes. Go to the Rato Machindranath temple, a huge shikhara-style chariot. During the annual month-long Rato Machindranath parade, the idol there is taken around Patan. You then move past the main courtyard and reach the Karya Binayak Temple.
