Helpfulness
Not far away from Kathmandu is another interesting town: Bhaktapur.
In Bhaktapur there is also a Durbar Square and it's even larger than the square in Kathmandu and happily there is no traffic. On the square in Bhaktapur are also a lot of nice temples.
It is also a pleasure to walk in the streets of Bhaktapur. What I liked when I was walking in these streets were some houses with beautiful carved doors.
Also interesting in Bhaktapur are the shops with the thangkas (Tibetan religious paintings). Some of them were very beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't buy one because I had too less time to have an accurate look at them and to negotiate about the price. Maybe this is also a good reason to go back to Nepal again one day.

Visit Bhaktapur, but be prepared to spend a whole day.

Bhaktapur is about 35 km south east of Kathmandu and is easily reached by bus, minibus or taxi.
Foreigners have to buy a ticket to visit the town.
