Bhaktapur Heritage Experience

Bhaktapur, Nepal

Walk through Bhaktapur’s medieval squares, temples, pottery areas and traditional Newari streets.

A closer look

Bhaktapur brings together historic squares, Newari streets and fine architectural detail. A walk can focus on the monuments, the lanes between them, or the pottery areas, depending on your interests and available time.

What you can do here

01

Explore the squares

See the temple architecture and open spaces of the historic city. Agree the walking route with your guide rather than assuming every monument is open.

02

Notice the craftsmanship

Look for carved woodwork, brick façades and details around the courtyards.

03

Visit the pottery area

Watch from permitted public areas when artisans are working. A hands-on pottery session needs a separate booking and the maker’s consent.

Before you go
