bkaktapur durbar square
by hanspeter_W., 2 more photosBhaktapur is the third largest city in the Kathmandu valley. The city was once the capital of Nepal during the great Malla Kingdom from the 12th to the 15th century.

Four square miles of land situated at an altitude of 1,401 meter from sea-level is a home to Traditional art and architecture, pottery and weaving industries, rich local customs and culture, and the every-day life of Bhaktapur people. All that and more will have you visit this untouched ancient city more than once! Nepal's Malla dynasty's achievements in arts and crafts are reflected throughout the Bhaktapur city. Bhaktapur is also known by woodcarving artists, for it's cap known as Bhadgaon Topi, and for it's curd known by Nepalese as the `Bhaktapur ko Dahe' (meaning Curd made in Bhaktapur). Tourists visiting the city also take the time to relax and observe other interesting happenings in the city such as children's playing outside their home and in temple yards, busy and color-full open markets, women's making clay-pots, weaving, and sun-drying crops and vegetable products. Bhaktapur is located at 14 km east of Kathmandu and can be reached by public transport. A day-trip to Bhaktapur is a popular tourist itinerary, so make it yours soon!.

Bhaktapur: Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Nayatpol Temple
by ozalp,
2 more photosThis city is located 14 km east of Kathmandu. It was an art center and its Durbar Square is an architectural masterpiece with the 55-window palace, golden gate and the temples. The palace was built in 17th century. The royal bath in the palace is stunning with naga decorations. You must see the golden gate and statues.
We had lunch by the Nayatpol Temple. This temple is one of the tallest buildings here. On the stairs to its door there are some statues of certain creatures. They are placed from bottom to up by their degree of power.
There are several tea and souvenir shops here. Also lots of women sell pashminas, small bags etc
