Article Visit of Bhaktapur

The center of old Bhaktapur is made of Durbar square, where you most likely begin your tour. Apart from the great royal palace there are many other interesting temples.
 

An interesting building on Durbar square is pointy Vastala temple. Next to it sits on a pole king Bhupatindra and looks through the golden gate to the royal palace.
 

Right next to the temple Vastala is nice corners with the temple Durga.

At the eastern end of the royal palace is a nice Laxmi temple.
 

If you walk through the royal palace, also called the 55-window palace, you will reach a beautiful sacred lake

Durbar square ends in the east by a small temple of Fasidega that is cherished by statues of elephants and other animals.
 

The most important building of the entire Bhaktapur is five-storey pagoda of temple Nyatpola in the square Tamaudhi only two hundred meters from the main square Durbar. The main staircase is also „protected“ by massive statues.
 

Statues of powerful beings are very nicely done. You can meet here a lot of elders or disabled, who slowly and with great effort conquer the stairs all the way up to the temple.
 

On the square Tamaudhi is certainly true that there is more interesting view of the church Nyatpola than from the temple to the rest of the square.
 

Apart from the magnificent temple Nyatpola you can also see interesting pagoda Bhairab Nath at the square Tamaudhi.

Other tourist attraction in Bhaktapur is the Pottery Square, where the potters exhibit their products most of the year. But in late October, however, there is no place for the markets due to harvest processing.
 

The local pottery is mainly useful, rather than explicitly exhibition. It is also very interesting to look at the production processes in the surrounding furnaces

The last interesting temples are about three quarter kilometers away on Dattatraya square. The main street, along which you will walk, is the artery of tourism and there are souvenir stalls all around.
 

During the holidays you can also see the consecration of trucks by blood of animals on the square Dattatraya.
 

After seeing the sights it is best to leave the main tourist street and pass through the remote streets of the town and observe local life.
