The city of Bhaktapur is one of the Kathmandu Valley’s major tourist attractions – not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage site, but at only 30mins away it is also easily accessible on a day trip from Kathmandu.
Bhaktapur has preserved much more of its architectural heritage than Kathmandu and for this, it is deservedly famous. It is particularly well-known for its wood carving – here is a particularly good place to pick up an intricately carved frame or figurine as a souvenir.
