Another plus for Patan vs Kathmandu is the presence of a number of (touristy) rooftop cafes surrounding Durbar Square. In addition to providing decent food, we got a great vantage point over the square, which is sometimes difficult to fully appreciate at ground level. We had a proper continental breakfast at Cafe Pagode and lingered there for quite a while taking in the scene. The cafe directly overlooks the Manga Hiti, which is a big public bathing tank pictured here. It's been running since the sixth century, so I'm assuming the pipes are a bit rusty, but it still works.
