Bhaktapur Private Tour

After being picked up from your hotel in Kathmandu, you will head east for less than an hour to reach Bhaktapur, meaning "Place of Devotees." The tour begins with a guided exploration of the city center, where you can observe the traditional architecture typical of this region. The buildings exhibit a unique style due to Bhaktapur's location in the eastern Kathmandu Valley.

During the tour, you will visit significant monuments and landmarks, including Durbar Square, which features the royal palace of the former Bhaktapur Kingdom and numerous intricately carved Hindu temples. Notable among these is the 15th century Palace of 55 Windows, a prime example of Nepali art.

Your tour will also include Lu Dhowka, the ornate golden gates leading to the palace. You will explore Nyatapola Temple, a five-storey pagoda from the early 1700s, and the Dattatreya Temple. While wandering, you can see local shops and stalls selling traditional handicrafts, enriching your understanding of Bhaktapur's culture and history. The tour concludes with your return to Kathmandu, where you will be dropped off at your hotel.
