Bhaktapur

Bhaktapur, also known as Bhadgaon or Khwopa, is one of the three medieval cities in the Kathmandu Valley, alongside Kathmandu and Patan. Located just 12 kilometers from the capital, this historic city is a blend of Hindu and Buddhist cultures, divided into three squares filled with temples and religious structures. To maintain these ancient sites, a town entry fee of NPR 1800 is required, which contributes to the preservation of Bhaktapur's temples.

Situated in the eastern part of the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur is often referred to as "the city of culture." Although the city faced significant devastation during the 7.9 magnitude earthquake in April 2015, resulting in the loss of life and damage to some of its historically significant temples, Bhaktapur has steadily rebuilt and remains one of Nepal's most valuable historical cities.

Located on the ancient trade route between India and Tibet, Bhaktapur offers a clear view of the Himalayas, enhancing its allure as a popular tourist destination. The city's most renowned attraction is Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a must-visit site that showcases the rich cultural heritage of this medieval city.
