Bhaktapur Sightseeing Day Tour

Bhaktapur lies in the eastern part of Kathmandu. It falls within one of Nepal’s districts, where the majority of residents are Newars. Bhaktapur is also known as Bhadgaun and Khowpa. The place is famous for the yogurt, Bhadgaunle Cap, and its ancient history. Unlike other Durbar squares of Kathmandu and Patan, it has four different squares and a couple of ponds. Bhaktapur Sightseeing Day Tour is a one-day tour of the beautiful place with ancient history. 

The Bhaktapur Sightseeing Tour starts at 8:00 AM from Thamel via Queen’s Pond, Clock Tower, Parliament, and ends near Bhaktapur Square. From there, we head toward the main entrance of Sukul Dhoka in Durbar Square, offering a clear and complete view of the entire square. After exploring the Museum, Golden Gate & its Pond, along with the Fifty Windows Palace, we will head toward Pottery Square. It is a living museum of claywork, showcasing the transformation of dusty mud into sculpted clay pots, statues, and other creations.

After exploring the pottery square, another destination will be Taumadi Square, home to the tallest Nyatapol Temple. Next, another target will be the famous Datrataya Square, with its peacock window, a masterpiece of wooden art. A sample of such a peacock window is available for purchase on the premises of Square. After exploring Dattatraya Square, the team boards an arranged vehicle and drives to Changunarayan, home to Nepal’s oldest Narayan Temple. One private museum owned by Binaya Raj Shrestha houses an excellent collection of rare ancient coins, art, and the architecture of Nepal. The trip will end with a direct drive back to Thamel from Changunarayan, retracing almost the same route.

We at NEST Adventure offer a private day tour of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, including a side trip to Changunarayan Temple. For more details, contact us.
