The Bungmati and Kokhana Village tour is one of the easiest and yet one of the most exciting. From the culturally rich Bugmati valley to the naturally beautiful Kokhana, this tour has a lot to offer. Bungmati is home to the famous Rato Machindranath and Karya Binayak temples. Kokhana for its part is famous for the green rice fields carpeted across the Newari village. 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.
