Ichangu Narayan Temple is a quiet Hindu shrine west of central Kathmandu, dedicated to Narayan, a form of Vishnu. It is not one of the valley's headline temples, but it rewards travelers looking beyond the usual circuit with a calmer, more local religious site.
The temple is known for its four representations of Narayan. Combine it with other western Kathmandu stops rather than making a special cross-town trip for this alone.
