Bhaktapur Private Tour

After pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu, you will head east towards Bhaktapur. The journey takes less than an hour. Bhaktapur, meaning "Place of Devotees," features enchanting ancient temples.

Your guided tour begins in the city center, exploring the centuries-old streets and traditional architecture typical of the region. The style of the buildings contrasts with other parts of Nepal due to Bhaktapur's isolated location at the eastern end of the Kathmandu Valley.

Discover the city's most iconic monuments and landmarks, including the historic Durbar Square, the royal palace of the former Bhaktapur Kingdom. The square houses exquisitely carved Hindu temples dedicated to various deities. Among them, the 15th century Palace of 55 Windows is a notable example of Nepali art.

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

As you explore these remarkable buildings that contribute to the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site status, you will encounter shops and stalls selling traditional handicrafts, offering further insight into Bhaktapur's culture and history. The tour concludes with your return to Kathmandu and drop-off at your hotel.
