The Patan Museum displays the traditional sacred art of Nepal in an illustrious architectural setting. Its home is an old residential court of Patan Darbar, one of the royal palaces of the former Malla kings of the Kathmandu Valley. Its gilded door and window face one of the most beautiful squares in the world.

The residential palace compound of Keshav Narayan Chowk which houses the museum dates from 1734, displacing a Buddhist monastery that is still remembered in an annual public rite on the palace doorstep. But both monastery and palace rest on far older foundations that may go back to the Licchavi Period (ca. 3rd to 9th century).

Altered over time to suit other purposes, and partly fallen into decay, the building has undergone a thorough restoration for more than a decade through the joint efforts of His Majesty's Government of Nepal and the Austrian Government. Some parts are new, others were reconstructed to their original appearance, and interiors were adapted to the needs of a museum with appropriate modern facilities added. The museum was finally established and opened in 1997.

The garden to the rear of the museum has been adapted to incorporate a pleasant resting place and The Patan Museum Cafe run by the Summit Hotel, Kathmandu. The Patan Museum Cafe has been crafted to complement the superb period ambience achieved by the architects and builders of the Museum itself. Located in the inner courtyard of the Keshav Narayan Chowk in Patan Durbar, the cafe will offer a mix of traditional and western delicacies and light meals in a setting unparalleled in the Kathmandu valley. The cafe area may also be booked for special evening functions for classical dance or music, for receptions, banquets, theatre, etc. For enquires please consult the Contact Page.

Where to find the Cheapest Car Rental

2010-07-03T22:59:00.002-07:00

Cheapest Car Rental is the first thing on our mind when we need to book a car. We cannot always take our car along on trips, it’s just too impractical. Car rental companies have made a fortune based at airports where they can charge a premium for the rental, you may think “what a rip off” they just shrug their shoulders, do you still need a car? The normal response is of defeat and passengers grudgingly pay for the rental. And so the sad story keeps on going around.

The cheapest car rental companies are normally less well known, and are normally not based at the airports, but have generally a good name. Points to look out for are: How old are the cars? How often do they get serviced? When you receive the car, is it in good repair and clean, inside and out? This may sound like trivia to you, but companies who pride themselves in keeping the cars in good shape, are generally well managed. And word of mouth quickly spreads.

There is a another way to find good deals on well know car rental companies, Travel clubs have often a contract with well known car rental companies, and you will be ale to get the same cheap rate as you would with the cheaper rental companies.

This is beneficial to you as you know already that all the boxes are ticked on the check list and you will have piece of mind. So there is no need to hunt around for the good budget rental company.

Upon joining a Travel Club, members will then have access to these well knows rental companies, which are stationed at major airports for convenience. You can see the benefit in this arrangement and normally the membership is for life. Some Travel clubs charge a once of fee and some charge a small monthly fee.

As Travel Club members finding the cheapest car rental is a thing of the past because it is now combined as one in the travel package that also includes the accommodation and flights. The way the travel clubs are able to get these discounted rates is that they buy in bulk, and with buying in bulk comes a large no of people wanting car rentals, so deals are struck with well know car rental companies that in turn give more credibility to the Travel Clubs.

Travel Members also make use of this discount when going on business trips, including accommodation. A hand some amount of money can be save by going this route, as this is still very new on the Travel and Tourism market, and should not take long for many to follow in their footsteps.
