Our Second Day in Nepal - Bhaktapur - One of the Most Visited Tourist Attractions in Nepal - See Why
On our second day, @Kimberley's Sandbox - Thailand and Beyond... and I venture even further to the city of Bhaktapur, one of the oldest areas in Nepal.
Popular for its religious, culture and historical heritage, Bhaktapur is also known as Bhadgaun. This city, rich in ancient arts, religious values, fabulous cultural traditions, architectural masterpieces and ancient sculptures, is also known as an open museum. Moreover, the city is also famous as a city of gods.
Is Bhaktapur worth visiting?
Bhaktapur is the third of the valley's medieval Newari cities, the other two being Kathmandu and Patan. It remains the best preserved of the three, despite the damage of the 2015 earthquake. The ancient city centre is car-free, making walking its cobbled streets very pleasant indeed.
