After viewing Lu Dhowka, the intricate golden gates leading to the palace, continue your tour to Nyatapola Temple, a five-storey pagoda from the early 1700s, and the Dattatreya Temple.

As you explore these ancient buildings recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will encounter shops and stalls selling traditional handicrafts, providing insight into the culture and history of Bhaktapur. At the end of your tour, you will return to Kathmandu to be dropped off at your hotel.
