Welcome to the beautiful ancient city Bhaktapur. A place small in area yet rich and intact with best preserved heritages, lively culture and history, palace courtyards, temples and impressive arts and architectures. As the name suggests Bhakta means “devotee” and pur refers to “city” so this place is commonly known as city of devotees. Believed to have been settled in 12th century Bhaktapur retains wonderful medieval ambiance as most of the constructions and development of the monuments were done during that particular time of Malla dynasty. Bhaktapur is also one of the world heritage sites among the 7 heritage sites enlisted within Kathmandu valley by UNESCO. Join me on this virtual live tour through Bhaktapur.
