Hiking
The Bhimsen Temple is the northernmost of the major monuments in the Mangal Palace Square. Dedicated to Bhimsen, the god of trade among the Newars, the monument is of uncertain age but was rebuilt in 1682 by Shrinivas Malla following a fire. Later reconstructions took place in 1934, following the great earthquake, and again in 1967. Although the temple was significantly damaged in the April 2015 earthquake, it reopened in early 2022 after a thoroughgoing reconstruction that retained much material from its pre-earthquake form.
