Nepal | Bhaktapur 🇳🇵 The Most Worthwhile Ticket in Kathmandu!
Among Kathmandu Valley's three Durbar Squares (Thamel, Patan, and Bhaktapur), Bhaktapur's is undoubtedly the crown jewel. Locals call it Bhaktapur—a medieval city where time stands still. If Himalayan trekking 🏔️ reveals Nepal's rugged exterior, then Bhaktapur's heritage is its soul. And Bhaktapur? It outshines the rest. During my three days here, I loved sitting on the towering wooden steps of Nyatapola Temple at sunset 🌅, watching daily life unfold below as the sun dipped behind distant mountains. 🌟 Must-Visit Route: The walk loops through three squares, featuring the Peacock Window and Wood Carving Museum. 📍 Start at Peacock Window ⬇️ Wood Carving Museum ⬇️ Dattatraya Square ⬇️ Bhaktapur Durbar Square ⬇️ Pottery Square ⬇️ Taumadhi Square 🗺️ See route map—all stops are walkable via Google Maps. The full tour takes 3-5 hours, but staying overnight lets you soak in the local rhythm (the real magic of Nepal!). 🎫 Tickets: Other foreigners: 1800 NPR Pro tip: The ticket is valid for a week. If staying inside the city, ask staff to write the date on the back. 🚨 "Unofficial" note: Bhaktapur is an open city with many unchecked alleys—see P15 for ticket checkpoints. 🚗 Transport: Book taxis to visible landmarks (the maze-like streets confuse even drivers!). #Nepal #Kathmandu #DurbarSquare #Bhaktapur #NepalTravel #CulturalExploration #TravelGuide #HiddenGems #Patan
