Full-Day Bhaktapur Heritage Tour with Newari Culture and Pottery

The tour begins with your guide picking you up from your hotel.

You begin your tour at Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a former royal palace complex that housed the Malla Kings of Nepal from the 14th to 15th century and the kings of the Kingdom of Bhaktapur from the 15th to the late 18th century, until the kingdom was conquered in 1769.

The former palace grounds have been used as government offices, schools, and private houses. Like those of Kathmandu and Patan, Bhaktapur Durbar Square contains various temples, palaces, and courtyards, all built in traditional Nepalese architecture.

Right behind the Golden Gate, you can find another majestic masterpiece known as 55 Jhyale Durbar. Here, you can observe the preeminent illustration of wood carvings from the Malla period in this building.

Nyātāpola, a five-tiered temple located in the central part of Bhaktapur, is the tallest monument in the city and also the tallest temple in Nepal. King Bhupatindra Malla commissioned this temple, which was completed in 1702.

Pottery Square, as its name suggests, is a square full of pottery works. This square is not as big as Durbar Square, but it is a hub for shopping for Nepalese handicrafts.

You will be dropped back at your hotel at four in the evening.
