Bhaktapur, one of the oldest royal cities in the Kathmandu Valley, is a treasure trove of history, culture, and craftsmanship. Known as the "City of Devotees," it is famous for its exquisite woodcarvings, traditional pottery, handmade paper, and cloth weaving.

The city features four main courtyards—Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatreya Square, and Pottery Square—each showcasing stunning temples and historic palaces.

Once called “Bhadgaun” or “Rice Village,” Bhaktapur remains deeply connected to its Newari heritage, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into Nepal’s rich traditions.

The 55-Window Palace in Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a stunning example of Newari architecture, built in the 15th century and later renovated by King Bhupatindra Malla. Named for its 55 intricately carved wooden windows, the palace was once the royal residence of the Malla kings.

Now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it houses the National Art Museum and features a beautifully crafted golden gate, making it a must-visit landmark in Bhaktapur.

Pottery Square in Bhaktapur is a vibrant hub of traditional pottery making, where local artisans craft clay pots using centuries-old techniques. Visitors can witness the process, from spinning the wheel to sun-drying and firing the pots in traditional kilns. This square offers a glimpse into Bhaktapur’s rich heritage and is a great place to buy unique handmade pottery.

Taumadhi Square in Bhaktapur is a vibrant cultural hub, home to the iconic Nyatapola Temple, Nepal’s tallest pagoda-style temple, built in 1702. Alongside it stands the Bhairavnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Bhairav, and the Bhimsen Temple, honoring the god of trade and business. The square showcases exquisite Newari architecture, bustling local markets, and traditional festivals, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking Bhaktapur’s rich heritage.

Dattatreya Square in Bhaktapur is a historic and spiritual center, known for its beautiful temples and traditional architecture. The square is named after the Dattatreya Temple, dedicated to the combined form of the Hindu gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The square is also home to the Pujari Math, a stunning wooden building that serves as a cultural hub, and The Peacock Window, a masterful piece of woodwork, regarded as one of the finest examples of Newar craftsmanship. The area offers a peaceful, atmospheric setting to explore the city’s ancient history and vibrant Newari culture.
