Hari Shanker Temple is a significant religious site in Patan, Nepal, dedicated to the dual worship of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. The temple is characterized by its traditional three-story pagoda-style architecture. Unfortunately, the temple sustained considerable damage during the 2010 earthquake and is currently undergoing a slow and challenging rebuilding process. While much of the original structure is inaccessible, the Nandi bull statue remains visible. It is located directly opposite the entrance to the Patan Durbar Square museum.
This site is best for those interested in Nepalese history, architecture, and religious sites, and who are willing to view a temple undergoing restoration. It may be of particular interest to those already visiting Patan Durbar Square.
October-November (autumn) and March-May (spring) offer the most pleasant weather.
Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Morning or late afternoon are recommended to avoid the midday heat and potential crowds.
Due to the ongoing reconstruction and damage, accessibility is severely limited. The temple is not easily accessible for individuals with mobility impairments. The surrounding area of Patan Durbar Square may present challenges with uneven surfaces.
The site is not particularly geared towards children due to the reconstruction and lack of specific amenities. Supervision is recommended due to the ongoing construction and potential hazards.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
