Overview

Discover Bhaktapur: The Living Heritage of Nepal

Known as the “City of Devotees” and locally referred to as Bhadgaon, Bhaktapur is a timeless open-air museum located in the heart of the Kathmandu Valley. Dating back to the 8th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a masterpiece of medieval art, architecture, and spiritual harmony.

A Tapestry of Culture and Spirituality
Bhaktapur is unique for its seamless blend of Hinduism and Buddhism. As you walk through its brick-paved streets, you will find a dense cluster of:

Ornate Temples & Monuments: Exquisite examples of wood and stone carvings.
Royal Palaces: The historic seat of the Malla kings.
Traditional Water Fountains: Intricately designed stone spouts (hitis) that still serve the community.

The Art of Living
The city is the valley’s primary hub for art, craft, and pottery. You can still witness local artisans spinning clay wheels in “Pottery Square,” creating the traditional wares that supply the entire region. The majority of the population belongs to the Newari community, keeping ancient traditions alive through vibrant festivals like Bisket Jatra, the spectacular solar New Year celebration.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square
 A masterclass in Vastu Shastra. Local Tantric scholars designed the layout to act as a spiritual shield against natural disasters and enemies.

Nyatapola Temple
Built in the 18th century, this is the tallest temple in Nepal. Dedicated to the Tantric goddess Siddhi Laxmi, its five-roofed structure is a feat of engineering and divine protection.
