KWALAKHU<br />
Kwalakhu, a place with a history of its own, is a residential settlement in Patan, less than 500 meters North-<br />
West of the Patan Durbar Square. Surrounded by monuments like the Hiranya Varna Mahabihar (Golden<br />
Temple), Bangalamukhi and Kumbheshwor temples, Swotha Narayan Temple and the Palace complex of<br />
ancient Lalitpur, Kwalakhu is a charming neighbourhood, a melting pot, of different crafts, cultures and<br />
architecture within the realms of traditional Newari art and lifestyle.<br />
The Rajbhandari House, a residence, a cafe, a gallery, and at one point in time a local school.<br />
