About Bhaktapur
Bhaktapur's three main squares preserve medieval Newari architectural perfection—60% of Nepal's ancient buildings concentrate in this UNESCO World Heritage city. Durbar Square's palaces, the five-storey Nyatapola Temple, and Taumadhi Square's pagodas create a living museum. Pottery wheels still spin in neighbourhood workshops; the city traffic-free except donkeys.
