Bungamati and Khokana go back to the sixteenth century or prior, and both towns brag about some extremely great landmarks and antiquated sanctuaries. Bungamati is the origination of Rato Machhendranath, the supporter of the valley, and the substantial shikhara-style sanctuary in the town square is his home for half of the year. He invests whatever is left of his energy in Patan. The procedure of moving him around Patan and to Bungamati and back is vital to one of the valley's most critical yearly celebrations.

In the chowk around the sanctuary, you can see the heart of a working Newari town.

The perspectives from this spot are astounding, and you can watch out over the Bungamati valley to the foothills.

Khokana is arranged only north of Bungamati. It is a modest Newari town with notoriety for its mustard oil and neighborhood sanctuary. The Newari who live here squeeze out a straightforward living off the area. You will see that regardless of where you go in this little town, a huge 3-storied sanctuary will get your attention. The sanctuary is devoted to the nearby mother goddess, Shikali Mai. A comparative sanctuary toward the northeast of the town is utilized amid times of scourges.
