the potter's square is an area specially dedicated to the art of making pottery.. all round the square potters' wheel are spinning and balls of clay moulded into pots.. there are rows and rows of pots sitting out in the sun waiting to dry before being sold in the stalls all around bakhtapur.. a word of caution though, most of the pottery worker do not want their photographs taken unless they are paid.. :P Leave a Comment Address: bakhtapur..

Baktapur is the most beautiful I view all over the Nepal.
Baktapur, like Bagdaon, means "the city of devotees". It was built in IX century by king Ananda Malla. After, it became one of the three capitals of Kathmandu valley, togheter with Kathmandu and Patan.
Baktapur Durbar Square is one of the seven world heritage sites all over the Kathmandu valley. Leave a Comment

Bhaktapur - or the "City of Devotees" - is one of the three Kingdom Cities, next to Patan and Kathmandu. It is certainly one of the main highlights of the kathmandu Valley you cant afford to miss. Stroll around the alleys and squares full of magnificent monuments and temples with rich woodcarving decorations and inhale the history! The complete town is ONE big museum! Leave a Comment

No visit to Nepal is complete without seeing Bhaktapur
It is a World Heritage sight and now costs $10 per person to visit.
Well worth a visit for the architecture alone as Bhaktapur has more temples per square foot than Patan or Kathmandu and is far enough out of town to keep the crowds away. As a World Heritage site listed by the UNESCO, Bhaktapur has been heavily restored since a 1934 earthquake severely damaged the city.
You can catch a taxi or local bus from Kathmandu. Leave a Comment

Bhaktapur is a UNESCO heritage site. A German-lead initiative back in the 70's helped restore some of the more dilapidated buildings including the stone and woodwork. The temples and old buildings impart a feeling of peacefulness. You feel as though you are transported back to medieval times. We had a colorful Nepalese guide, but honestly, you can grab your Lonely Planet book and catch a taxi to and from Bhaktapur. Once you're there, you're hoofing it. Leave a Comment

Bhaktapur's Durbar Square is the political center of the city. Here is where the local government is located, as well as some cool temples and architecture. Maoists and other political groups may hold protests here (as in my case), try not to get too evolved in Nepali politics, it's pretty messy.

Bhaktapur's Potters Square is a small square where many of Bhaktapur's potters gather to make pots. They make them on huge traditional wheels and you can buy some of the completed work for quite a bargain. You have to pay them if you want to take their photo though.

The "walled" city of Bhaktapur is a definite must see in Nepal. Bhaktapur is about fifteen minutes from Kathmandu and it is a walled city, so there are very few cars allowed inside the city. There is a 750 Rupee fee to get into Bhaktapur, and it is good for a week. Bhaktapur is very unique, especially because there are so few cars within the city. It is one of the three ancient capitals of Nepal and is renound for its strong Hindu and Nuwari culture, architecture, and art (pottery in specific). Leave a Comment Directions: Bhaktapur, Nepal

The Bhimsen Temple in Bhaktapur is a large and active Hindu temple. I was there during a festival so there were many yogis and people around; it was quite an experience. The temple itself is only accessible to Hindus, but the area around the temple is open to everyone. The Bhimsen Mandir is located in the local area of Bhaktapur and is a great way to explore the culture of this "walled" city. Leave a Comment Directions: Bhimsen Mandir, Bhaktapur, Nepal
