Bhaktapur

Bhaktapur, once the seat of power in medieval Kathmandu Valley, stands as Nepal’s best-preserved city, despite the loss of many historic buildings in the 2015 earthquake. The city retains its old-world charm, with Durbar Square at its heart. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a concentration of ancient temples, palaces, and courtyards. Visitors can explore the intricate woodcarvings, ornate architecture, and narrow cobblestone streets, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region.
