“Hotel Garuda enjoys a prime spot in Bhaktapur; the rooftop bar offers impressive views, which can be enjoyed over a chilled beer. I particularly like that the staff are welcoming and the Newari dishes are delicious, especially the bone marrow. It's a solid choice for experiencing the city's heart.”
