National Art Gallery- Bhaktapur.

goutammitra Says: It lies just a minute walk to the South East Durbar Square. A standee in this square is pygmised by the towering five storeyed pagoda style temple of Goddess Siddhi Laxmi and that of God Bhairavnath.This is the place where age old Dances & Festivals are observed by the...
traceyspacey Says: National Art Gallery is worth seeing, inside and out. It has Hindu and Buddhist paintings, stone and wood carvings. There are also portraits of the Kings of Nepal with information on each of them, you may want to compare this with your guide book. All this for 20 rupees. The...
josephescu Says: It is not a bad idea to stay in Bhaktapur after night fall, when the one day tourists leave and the quiet squares from day-light come back to "real" life, with dozens of vendors trying their chances and with the locals gathering in smaller or larger groups,, just to sit and...

Marco Polo: If you are willing to waste your time
ozalp Says: This was our biggest mistake. Not because of the foods or location. The service was so slow so we missed all the free time waiting for some lunch. This is why I couldn’t have good photos; this is why I couldn’t buy souvenirs. This is why I haven't any decent image of...

josephescu Says: I was sick that day (diarrhoea from earlier meals in Chitwan) and spent almost all morning in the hotel in Kathmandu. Feeling a little better in the afternoon, I insisted on seeing Bhaktapur, although it was getting really late. So we rented a cab to take us from Kathmandu...
schlumpf Says: If you simply want to visit Bhakthapur, then the best way is to take a pubblic bus form Kathmandu, where you will have no difficulties to caught it.Anyway, I won’t reccomend you to spend a compelte day here, as it is enough to stay here an half a day, you could then set a...
Vija_v Says: It was really hard to pass all the beauty you can see in the little shops. If i would have someone who would carry my bag, i would spend all my money for all this nice things. :)oh, sorry for being so typical woman! :)
Vija_v Says: It is amazing how calm people can be in Nepal, as well as in India. They never have any hurry, but for whole day long they can just sit near some temples or main squares, watch people and do nothing.Try to do the same and if you can - you are very special! :))) Actually for...
This is just a warning. From the time you arrive at Bhaktapur, there will be a lot of kids coming to recommend themselves as your tourist guide in Bhaktapur. Preferring to have the freedom of where to go and what to see myself, I had to say constantly "no" to them. However, they didn't seem to easily give up.
--- You have spent much more money coming all the way to Nepal. So why don't you spend a little money now to get to know more of Nepal? See, they have their point... and on and on...
Well, one of my friends hired a guide for the tour and found him indeed quite satisfactory --- fair charge, knowledgeable, patient, fun loving... Maybe it's a good way to get rid off more bother.

illa Says: The city is full of alleys and narrow winding lanes as a network. Built by red bricks as ground and buildings and being full of venders, they are colorful to watch. Each small lane can lead you to some surprises, a temple, a school, a small square, a market... you never...
josephescu Says: There are three main squares in old Bhaktapur – Durbar, Taumadhi and Tachupal Tole (to the east), linked togather by a number of narrow streets and courtyards. Durbar square is larger than the one in Kathmandu and much less “crowded” with temples than Patan. The empty...
josephescu Says: A math is a Hindu monastery.Out of the several maths monasteries in Bhaktapur, this is the most famous. Dating back from the 15th century, it was renovated in 1979 with German funds, as a wedding gift for the king Birendra.The 15th century peacock window, 30m down a small...
