The city of Bhaktapur is one of the Kathmandu Valley’s major tourist attractions – not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage site, but at only 30mins away it is also easily accessible on a day trip from Kathmandu. Bhaktapur has preserved much more of its architectural heritage than Kathmandu and for this, it is deservedly famous. It is particularly well-known for its wood carving – here is a particularly good place to pick up an intricately carved frame or figurine as a souvenir. |

Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhara – style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The square is one of the most charming valley as it highlights the ancient of the kings perched on top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in very place – struts, lintels, tympanums, gateways and windows – all seem to form a well orchestrated symphony. |
