Bhaktapur Day Tour

Bhaktapur, the third of the ancient city-states in the Kathmandu Valley, was usually referred to as being in the best condition. The smallest of the three old cities in the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur is proud of its cultural legacy, architecture, and authentic ethnic Newari way of life. This city also referred to as “The City of Devotees,” is located about 20 kilometers east of Kathmandu, the nation’s capital.

The Newari name Khwopa or the earlier name Bhadgaon (pronounced bud-gown), are both widely used in Nepal to address Bhaktapur. The city of Bhaktapur boasts four main squares (Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Pottery Square, Taumadhi Square, and Dattatraya Square) filled with towering temples that represent some of the best examples of religious architecture in the nation, therefore the name suits.

A proud show of cultural life is also present. Locals congregate in courtyards to wash, collect water, play cards, and socialize while craftsmen weave cloth and chisel wood along tiny alleyways. Visitors must pay an entrance charge to the town, which goes toward maintaining and repairing the temples, in order to see this tapestry of Nepali life.

The majority of people here depend on agriculture to meet their daily requirements; lush green fields surround the central city. Nevertheless, tourism contributes to 60% of Bhaktapur’s income. Unquestionably, it has been quite difficult to present this information due to the ancient art and architecture inscribed into the city’s heritage walls.

For instance, this city celebrates the New Year with the majestic and glorious Biska Jatra. It takes place over 8 nights and 9 days.
