Bhaktapur

Situated on a hill at an elevation of 1,401 meters, Bhaktapur, also known as Bhadgaon or the City of Devotees, is a significant tourist hotspot that transports visitors back in time. Located 12 kilometres east of Kathmandu Bhaktapur has successfully preserved its authentic charm, featuring brick-paved streets, picturesque red brick homes, and a lifestyle reminiscent of medieval times. Renowned for its pottery and woodcarving, the artistry is prominently showcased in the squares and windows of local residences and temples.
