Lovely area! I would recommend finding a rooftop restaurant to eat at and take in the lovely views. Some good photo opportunities, but no informative posters to explain anything about the buildings.

A UNESCO heritage site, this square has a lot of historical buildings. There is some lingering damage effects from the last earthquake, but still a beautiful city. It’s nice that they blocked off the main square to car and motorbike traffic. Definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful durbar. Through traffic is a lot less than in the other two durbars which is nice. Probably the most impressive of all the three durbars in my opinion. You have to buy tickets for it but they're not expensive at all and well worth it. Remember to respect the rules of where you can and cannot take photos.

One of the best places of visit in Nepal. It is a film shooting location. Many movies have been shot here...the famous being retro movie Hare Ram Hare Krishna's... Dum Maro dum song. This place is good for shopping too, but don't forget to bargain upto 60%.😉 Katmandu's biggest temple is here. Bhaktapur architecture is just amazing. Those who visit Nepal must not miss seeing this place.

One of three important durbar squares of Kathmandu valley, Bhaktapur Durbar Square is unique because there are shops and restaurants in addition to houses within the complex. There are many landmarks to see, such as 55-windowed palace and Nyatapol. There is also an art museum. You have to buy a ticket to enter the complex if you are a foreigner. It is a great place to get a glimpse of Nepali art and architecture. Highly recommended. I have visited three times and I really like it.

A must visit place if you are in Kathmandu valley. This is the best place to understand Nepalese culture and history. There are many historical monuments here. You can also learn/try activities like pottery, paintings etc. you will find proper market inside this place where you can enjoy food and do shopping. Entry tickets are charged here. Do not miss out on this place and experience Nepalese culture here. Pro tip: Take a guide to understand the significance of different monuments. You can negotiate the guide fee.

Beautiful ancient palace. When you are here, make sure to try the local favourite yogurt ice-cream at a small grocery store ( You will see a big line) behind the temple. I personally didn't like the ice-cream due to the strong spices flavour 😅

The best of the three Durbar square in the Kathmandu Valley. A guide is not really necessary. Enjoy the temples, the people and the atmosphere. Spend the whole day or even better more than one.

It was a great experience. Very clean city. Amazing guides... I would suggest hiring a guide to understand the place very well. I loved this place a lot amongst all the other famous places in Nepal.. Nepal overall is a clean and helpful country.. all the people over here are sweet and genuine

You must be visit this place. See there architect. Enjoyed the roof top restaurant experience. See their history. Do shopping. One thing don't buy the tickets. No one check there😅

Must visit place in Nepal with a lot of history. Great sculptures, wood carvings, temples in the square. Replicas of popular shrines in the square. Take a guide and spend time to ask and know more about the place.

Best place to visit for culture site.

Wonderful living museum I should call. Palaces were built in 17th century and Durbar square loaded with traditional Nepalese art on stone and wood. One of the most happening place in Kathmandu valley. Great place for the art lovers

Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The beautiful gateway nearby Kathmandu. The ancient wooden structures, the red coloured buildings and the beautiful by lanes which makes the town really beautiful and gorgeous. There are lot of eateries around to get your evening more intense. Almost all the cafes are having liquor’s to sell. The crowd is mostly the native people which makes the ambiance more powerful and pure. A must visit place if you are going to Nepal. I have gone there during the Nepalese new year and it was wonderfully decorated. Watching their culture along with the festival had its own charm. This durbar square is different from that of Kathmandu as the culture , the rituals and the purity is more prominent here. The really old traditions of Nepal is only visible during this time of the year and it is recommended to visit during the new year. Rating : 10/10. A must visit place.

Beautiful place with historical momentum from 4 to 5 hundred years ago. Some are older than that. Place is quiet peaceful despite being crowded by different tour group. Durbar square is very well maintained and one of the place you must visit if you come to Kathmandu. It’s only 1 hour drive from Kathmandu proper. We took public transportation from Kathmandu it was little over $1 for our round trip.

A great place to know more about the historic area. Very nice to see the old historic building. The downside coming here. As a foreinger, I have to pay 1800 rupees just to see the outside the building. I was not able to enter the old king palace as only for Nepali or Hindu People to enter. Ticket can be bought in the entrance area. I am still giving this place a 5 stars because of the historic stories and a fascinating structure of the buildings amazed me.

Beautiful historical place. Must visit when to go to Nepal. You can get some very good pictures clicked here. There are many shops to eat and buy stuff from there.

Holds so much value and information about our culture and History. Great place to explore, hang out and food around durbar square is great. Evening and morning time are best to sit and absorb the beauty of this place!

Must visit among all durbar squares in Kathmandu Valley. The architectures and temples will keep you engaged while visiting this true local beauty. ♥️ Didn't capture all the pictures but definitely it's more than this. ♥️

One of the must visit site seeing places in Nepal. All foreigners including Indians have to buy ticket to get into that...don't fall into the trap of guides, unless you are really interested in the details of heritage you can see there. You will have shopping in this place and also restaurants, cafe and small eateries available. One can easily spare 1 to 3 hours here based on your interest .

It is a former royal palace in Nepal. It was first built in the 14th century. It is recognised by UNESCO. It is undergoing extensive restoration due to damages from the recent 2015 earthquake.

A must visit historical town with lots of temples, traditional art and statues. Nepal’s resilience has been demonstrated by how much they’ve rebuilt this beautiful town after the devastating earthquake in 2015. 👍

Great historical site to visit. Well preserved and taken care off. Entry ticket is 500 for SAARC Countries and 1800 for other nationalities. Parking is the main issue. Cleanliness requires improvement. Lot of souvenirs shops but their prices are high and bargain is must for right price

As always in Nepal western tourist will pay more but it's a lovely place with an endless amount of thigs to see and the little bazaars are brilliant with everything you could need.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square भक्तपुर दरबार क्षेत्र) is a former royal palace complex located in Bhaktapur, Nepal. It housed the Malla kings of Nepal from 14th to 15th century and the kings of the Kingdom of Bhaktapur from 15th to late 18th century until the kingdom was conquered in 1769. Today, this square is recognised by UNESCO, managed jointly by the Archeological Department of Nepal and Bhaktapur Municipality, and is undergoing extensive restoration due to the damages from the earthquake in 1934 and the recent earthquake of 2015. The Durbar Square is a generic name for the Malla palace square and can be found in Kathmandu and Patan as well. The one in Bhaktapur was considered the biggest and the grandest among the three during its independency but now many of the buildings that once occupied the square has been lost to the frequent earthquakes.During its height, Bhaktapur Durbar Square contained 99 courtyards but today hardly 15 of these courtyards remain. The square has lost most of its buildings and courtyards to frequent earthquakes, particularly those in 1833 and 1934 and only a few of the damaged buildings were restored.

One the historical place of the Kathmandu Valley. Bhaktapur has the best-preserved palace courtyards and old city centre in Nepal and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its rich culture, temples, and wood, metal and stone artworks.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is the royal residence of the ancient Kingdom of Bhaktapur, 1,400 meters above sea level. The palace premises has been granted the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is situated in the present-day city of Bharatpur, also known as Khwopa, 13 km east of Kathmandu. Although the complex comprises of at least four distinct squares (Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatreya Square, and Pottery Square), the whole region is classified informally as Bhaktapur Durbar Square. This historical palace is a frequently visited location in the Kathmandu Valley . Temples inside Bhaktapur Durbar Square There are many temples inside the Bhaktapur Durbar Square compound. Some of them have been described below: Nyatapola Temple In Newari-language nyatapola means five tales-the representation of five fundamental components. It is Nepal's most significant and tallest pagoda ever constructed with such architectural elegance and creative grace. The floor of the temple is said to be extended from its middle. The temple is accessible once a year to the public, during the festival of Dashain. The temple is devoted to Shiddhilaxmi the Goddess. Those statues lined up on the two sides of the staircase are built as guardians of the temple and the presiding goddess, which we can see in five layers from the base of the temple. It is said that it took over three generations to complete the Nyatapola temple. The five-storeyed temple is famously known as "Pancha Tale Mandira." Rameshwar Temple Rameshwar Temple, in front of Gopi Nath Temple, which is a Gum Baja design, is the first time one sees on the right of the entrance. This is an accessible temple devoted to Shiva, with four pillars. The term Rameshwar comes from the fact that it was Ram as a manifestation of Vishnu who got the first Mahadev temple founded in South India at Rameshwar Temple. Gopi Nath Temple The Gopi Nath Temple, attached to the Rameshwar Temple which houses the three deities Balaram, Subhadra, and Krishna, are two roofed pagoda form. The deities are hard to see because the door stays entirely locked. The temple is also identified as Jagannath, another form Vishnu takes. Dwarka, also known as the Temple of Krishna, houses three deities, left to right: Satyabhama, Krishna, and Radha. The images are set in cement. The deities are mounted in a palanquin in the month of Mangsir (November / December) and carried around the city. Vatsala Devi Temple The Vatsala Devi Temple is just in front of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square and adjacent to the King's head statue, and next to the Taleju Bell. This temple in Shikhara architecture is wholly constructed in sandstone and is designed on a three-stage plinth, sharing parallels with Patan's Krishna Temple. It is devoted to Vatsala Devi, a form of the Durga goddess. King Jitamitra Malla originally founded this temple in 1696 A.D. However, the construction that can be seen today was restored by King Bhupatindra Malla during the late 17th or early 18th century. Behind the Vatsala Devi temple is a water source called Dhunge Dhara and next to it stands the Chayslin Mandap. Kedarnath Temple The temple built of Shikara type terracotta is the Temple of Kedarnath (Shiva). Badrinath Temple A tiny temple inside the Bhaktapur Durbar Square is locally known as Badri Narayan and lies to the west of the Gopi Nath Temple. This temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu and Narayan. Bhairava Nath Temple The Temple of Bhairab Nath is devoted to Bhairava, Lord Shiva's fiercest incarnation. Mini Pashupati Temple It is assumed that the holy god Shiva temple, the mini Pashupati , was constructed right in front of the Durbar Square after a Bhadgoan king thought about it. Erotic Elephant's Temple A hiti (water tank) is on the left just before the entrance into the square. There is a tiny double-roofed Shiva-Parvati Temple with some romantic carvings on its struts a few steps before the water tank but on the other side of the path, only 100 m before the entrance.

The antique place that is self explanatory...Those eye pleasing temples, spectacular wooden crafts, marvellous statues are the one that entice everyone. People gets lured by its heavenly beauty. The place is enlisted architecture. This site welcomes hundreds of tourist daily. People get overwhelmed by this masterpiece. It lies the bhaktapur city. You get surrounded by the majestic vibes as in the world heritage site for its charming scenery and world class you step in this magnum opus. Its beauty should be praised whole heartedly. I connote everyone to have a visit to this palace.

Exciting experience to deep into old architecture and nostalgic art and memories. The place filled with so many beautiful architectural artifacts and historical monuments. I took a guide as I am always interested in the information and significance of the place - would recommend the same.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square nice place

One of the best Historical Landmarks in Nepal; rich in art & crafts, culture, tradition, feasts and festivals! Lots of temples around! Enlisted among World Heritage Sites by UNESCO! Hence a place worth a visit!

A lot of reconstruction work is going on post earthquake yet the rich heritage that the structural genius holds is worth visiting. A lot of these structures have been damaged due to the earthquake. This place is also considered a hub for local Newari cuisine.

Nice place to hangout with friends and family. This place has a nice history. Nice sculptures and scriptures. Temples are beautiful, so does the art they teach here.

A fantastic place! There was so much hustle and bustle, different temples, places to eat, markets and more. It was such a fantastic part of our trip and gave us a real insight into the Nepalese culture.

Beautiful place. There was a lot to do from exploring the museum and temples, trying local cuisine to exploring the pottery. We missed out on learning pottery and watching others do it live, as some of the shops were closed due to dashain but a fun experience nonetheless.

Best place to find peace in the city. The place should actually stop vehicle entry, not just from the gate but from about 1km away from it, so that the tourist could also enjoy not just the temples and the palace, but also the home construct in that era. It would be really great, if the government took interest on it. Instead of the vehicle entry, it can be possible to create a rickshaw stand and make them do the business, for those who want to roam with it.

A fantastic, Beautiful ancient and historic place. Bhakatapur is rich in art, culture, monuments, foods etc. We can visit with friends and family and enjoy. The place is clean although it is crowned in holidays. There was so much hustle and bustle, different temples, places to eat, markets and more.

This place is amazing 😍

Good place to hang out and refresh your mind.

Among the three major cities of Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur retains some of its ancient way of life, reminding you of what the entire Kathmandu Valley must have looked like during the medieval period. The remarkable architecture, the exquisite woodcarvings and metal craft that can be seen around the city takes one back to the time of the Malla rulers who patronized art like no other dynasty.

Very historic place and beautiful

Silent environment

World Heritage Site full of ancient Architectures consists of Temples, Palace, party, pauwa. You can feel the ancient civilization how they live in harmony with all existing elements of society.

Truly authentic place to see history and art with most expensive items to almost free of cost

Great place with lots of cultural and religious significance. Love hanging out and taking a stroll around the area and sip a cup of coffee or get Kings curd. Most of the reconstruction has been completed and the area is super clean, tidy and cute with all the shops as you walk around the square

Amazing beautiful with lots of cultural heritage artifacts.

The best historical infrastructure in the world.

Very good place and very old temples here

One of the historical places of Kathmandu. A world heritage. You should visit.

Bhaktapur is one of the cities in Kathmandu and it's a city state in ancient times. This plaza is called Durbar square and it's a UNESCO world heritage site. It's the home of traditional art and architecture, historical monuments. I always enjoy visiting Bhaktapur Durbar Square as allows me to find peace everytime I take a tour of this place. It's one of the places in my itinerary during my travel to Nepal. The area has many shops which sells local paintings, ornaments, showpiece, decoration items. Another main attraction of this place is pottery town, where handmade pots are displayed for sale and export. Overall, a peaceful place to hangout, where you'll learn about art and architecture.

Really pleasing atmosphere,blessed with arts and architects. Mindblowing art is reflected on the walls of monuments and temples all over the place. We could feel all of beauty here.

It is the old palace of the Bhaktapur royal family. It is a unesco heritage site and many buildings in the complex are under renovation and restoration after the last earthquake. There is a palace of 55 windows with each window and door having wooden carving work that adds to the Beauty of the facade of the palace. It is said that the nepali architects had migrated to china in past. Hence many buildings have a resemblence to old chinese buildings. The square has complete stoned surface and many temples located in the vicinity, including a replica of pasupathinath temple. Another very busy temple in the square is of the bhairavnath temple. The bhairavnaths idol truly manifests the fiercest form of shiva. Most of the temples have gates which are garded by garuda, loin, elephants or other gods. The entire complex is good for walking around, taking photos etc. Avoid mid afternoons during summertime due to the heat.

Bhakthpur - the ancient capital of the city of Nepal during the first half of Malla Dynasty until the Kingdom split into three in the 15th century This is a UNESCO World Heritage site , one that lives up to its reputation. Speaking of the history, heritage and culture of Nepal - Bhaktapur plays a key role. If you want to know how the country was in the old days, this is a place to visit. travellers. The city still has its past charm intact with the small lanes and the old buildings many of which have remained for centuries.

Theres a lot of shopping that can be done and the place is definitely cheaper than Kathmandu- provided you bargain your way.

You can also find Jujudhou around. It's a great place for tourists to visit especially those who are interested in cultural and historical things.

Love the architecture and culture here. The main areas are amazing and surrounding shops and food places are one of my favorites. I paid the foreigner price (1500 rupees) and provided a passport and visa copy to get a multi-visit pass.

The temples are looking good, BUT for paying 1500 NPR they must restore them and keep them at their best! For this money I should get even a short time guide for telling me the history behind, I don't understand the government of Nepal taking so much money on these places and not taking care properly of the area...

Beautiful ancient and historic place. Bhakatapur is rich in art, culture, monuments, foods etc. We can visit with friends and family and enjoy. The place is clean although it is crowned in holidays.

Most famous heritage of nepal . Unique style of Artwork,painting and architecture.if you’re looking to find something beautiful place you have to go there. Enjoy your day ✅✅

I love this place,, as this is listed in UNESCO World Heritage Site,, the cultural heritage is maintained here. Visiting Nepal and not coming is like half a journey is missed. Just come here,,walk into the adjoining streets of Bhaktpur village, beautifully preserved. Small coffee shops also make you charge. Advice to come early in morning as in day time more tourists come, Feel that era,, only by visiting,,

Its a magical place. I was mesmerized by the craftsmanship.. every detail you see you will be like stunned .. how would it be possible.. its absolutely pleasure watching all the street and architecture.

Nice to visit and feel like a beautiful escape from the main city of Kathmandu. Ridiculous entry price quite high for tourists. Worth coming to explore. Must buy the juju (yoghurt).

I visited Bhaktapur on 15th July 2023. Since I am a citizen from the SAARC I was given an allowance and was charged 500 nepalese rupee. It's a must to visit this place if you ever visit Nepal. I loved the architecture and structures. They were celebrating a festival when I visited and it was all fun!

Amazing wooden carvings and metal carvings in the palaces and temples. Just loved them. It is a must place to visit for the love of culture and art. Many film shootings have taken place in Bhaktapur.

One of the best place to see Newar culture, the temples, queer looking stores, pottery work & tasty Newari food … one of a kind - very healthy, balanced & delicious cuisine. Newars who once ruled Nepal have a rich history & great culture.

This is too expensive! They charge 1700 rupees just to walk around the city. We walked something like 15 minutes until we found a way to come around. But they guard the entrances of this city and wont let you go anywhere in bhaktapur without paying unless you find a way around

Historical town worth to visit. You will see many sites and I would recommend getting a local guide to explain so that you will appreciate the history. They may take you for souvenir shopping. If you decide to purchase, remember they quote doubled or even tripled the price for tourists.

Beautiful temple complex with a beautiful ambience.... In fact the most beautiful of all the three temple complexes in the Kathmandu valley.....🌹🌹💖💖 I'm from India and I am in love with this place....💖💖💖

Well worth the visit. Massive area to discover with so many different unique shops and stalls. Really enjoyed my time wandering the winding streets.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bhaktapur Durbar Square is stunning! The historical allure combined with delicious Juju Dhau creates a memorable experience. A must-visit for its beauty and delightful local cuisine.

A place reminding us of the rich heritage of Nepal. We had visited here in October on a Sunday. The weather was gloomy but the views weren't. There weren't many tourists in the early morning but later in the day many school children were coming and a shooting for a music video was going on. On buying the tickets which was 500npr, a booklet was supplied with detailed description of the various places of Bhaktapur. We took around half day to visit the places, Taumadhi Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square,Golden gate, Nag Pokhari, Pottery Square. Still many places were remaining to be seen. Overall a wonderful experience. One should spent a whole day here and stay at a nearby hotel to get the true feel and hospitality of Nepal.
