I visited this temple along a day-hike route and was very taken with it. This temple is considered as the oldest temple in the history of Nepal,The distance of temple from Kathmandu was within comfortable range. Nice architecture and sacred place in darbar square. It is totally green and best location in Kathmandu valley, Only 6 km far from bhaktapur city. The temple was literally living in the sense of art and architecture. The wooden crafts of temple were so beautiful that regeneration looks impossible. The location of temple was iconic which provides panoramic view of many mountains. Absolutely stunning temple and the views of the valley are beautiful. We took a 20 minute bus journey from bhaktapur which I would highly recommend as it's fantastic hopping on and joining the locals as they go about their daily lives, the views on the way up are breathtaking. Sadly the temples were badly hit by the earthquake, probably the worst damaged area I seen other than patan. It is busy being built back up though and important that we go and show our support. Still a stunning area to visit and The locals were extremely friendly. If you are staying in bhaktapur I would recommend walking back, the views on the way back down are really worth taking in, especially seeing people working in the rice paddies. It took us 1 and a half to 2 hours to walk back but could likely be done much quicker if you're not stopping to take photos every few minutes like me.
Like Changu Narayan (चांगुनारायण मन्दिर) another tample is Here Suryavinayak Temple
