Nepal’s only zoo is in the south-western part of Patan, just north of Jawalakhel. It includes a reasonably extensive collection of Nepali wildlife, including rhinos, tigers, leopards, monkeys, and birds. There is a beautiful pond built in 17th AD that is open for boating. It opens daily except Mondays, from 10am to 4pm.

This industrial estate is situated at Lagankhel near Satdobato in Patan and is well known for Nepali handicrafts such as woodcarvings, metal crafts carpets and thangka paintings. For the convenience of the tourists, there is a shopping arcade where all the handicraft products of the estate are exhibited.

From a distance , you could almost Bungmati for a well-preserved Tuscan village:scrunched together on a hillock , its tall,block-like brick houses look distictly Romanesque,with their tiled roofs sloping in different direction.Irregular buses from Patan's Jawalakhel drop you off along the road a short walk northwest of the town.
