    Glorious architecture! Not all portions were open to visit but it felt remarkable overall. It's classic Nepal. It's a place seeped in History. Do take a guide. Otherwise, you won't be able to appreciate.

    Witness one of the largest kingdom of the Kathmandu valley and you will be simply mesmerized with its breath-taking looks. It had some of the best preservation of the olden times, however, they were destroyed because of the recent earthquake in 2015.Near the roadside you will find many craftisans weaving cloth

    Beautiful history. The earthquake damage remains, but you can see the rebuilding efforts. Most fun was finding the hidden little Buddhist stupa just outside the square. Use a guidebook or hire a guide beforehand. You will have many men offer their guide services. Make sure to visit the art museum next to the 55 Window Palace. Wander around and try to take it all in!

    Nice to walk around, this place covers wide area you can find local houses, restaurants, shops, temples, and all stuff Nepalese would shop here I saw mostly young people. Famous souvenirs are King’s curd and pottery. At first glance the king’s curd looks like a candle in temple I almost miss it. It’s sold in local convenient store putting together with soft drink. King’s curd tastes very nice like yogurt but its texture is like thick pudding or mousse, recommended! Sugar cane drink also tastes very nice with its natural fragrance :)

    It's World Heritage Sides.
    Yes, is gigantic square. I fall in love with this historical place. Mesmerizing. No replacement if not well preserved.
    Come on Nepal. You can do better.
    Provide ample parking space, good clean toilets, remove the makeshift zink small shop. Re use and retain the old ones. Grow more greens. We know what happened to this place after the earthquake but Nepal have ample manpower to restore it. You can do it.

    Beautiful historical place. Rejuvenating after fall during earthquake. Nice place to be with family or friends but at times it is too crowded especially by tourists. And you may not have your expected quality time with your loved ones. And do not forget to visit the museum.

    To me it is the best durbar square of Nepal (visit total 4). I have uploaded photos before and after earthquake. Now it is much better as renovation already started.

    This is an architectural paradise. If you are seeking for Nepal's vernacular architecture this is a must visit. Though a lot of renovation is under progress but one can witness the history.
    You can also shop local goods and have a variety of native cusine.

    Visiting the Bhaktapur Durbar Square

    One of the best places in Nepal, Bhaktapur is the perfect blend of authentic and modern worlds. Although, it is touched with modernization, there still are places where you could find authentic and ancient buildings and also some new buildings built in authentic designs. Situated at the center of Bhaktapur city is the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, truly a paradise on earth. The wide courtyards of the square accommodate old Malla palaces as well as some ancient and most popular temples. Also the temples and palaces are exceptionally carved in the struts, gateways, windows and lintels. It actually is a museum in itself that has preserved and conserved the history of our ancestors till today. It is a pride of our nation as one could be lost in its authentic environment and forget about the tall modern buildings and structures of Kathmandu.

    If you love culture, friendly locals, and great Nepalese hospitality Then Bhaktapur Durbar Square is your place! I spent a good 3 days here and loved every moment of it.

    From the mountain view landscapes (which I ran to from the place I was staying at) to the local dishes to exploring the local town, there's definitely plenty to do in this historical neighbourhood.

    And if you love trying new foods, be sure to go to their 'local' restaurants and try all their delicacies. It's a little different but worth trying!

    Bhaktapur will always have a place in my heart.

    This UNESCO world heritage site is magnanimous and elegant. The architecture coped in the wood carvings, walls and stones is amazingly wonderful. While visit there I found it having enough space to roam around. Talking with locals, this historical place has significant cultural value and locals are keeping the tradition alive. Being in Kathmandu, if you miss to visit this place then you missed the priceless treasure.

    Though it's quieter, and there's more to see than the Kathmandu Durbar Square, it's a bit hard to justify the 1500 rupee entrance fee + travel from Kathmandu. Square itself though is largely unaffected by the earthquake.

    The most visited place in Bhaktapur. This is a nice place if you want to get away from the crowded areas of the market and you can have ice-creams beverages food over there as well. One can experience the outstanding art and architecture of the never old Newari(locals of Bhaktapur) people.

    Bhaktapur Durbar square is a world heritage site of Nepal. Many information can be obtained from websites and other resources. It is one of the recommended places for visiting and understanding the old history, arts and culture of Kathmandu valley.

    In my opinion the fee (15$) Nepali authorities ask to visit Bhaktapur is a complete RIP OFF. Let me explain this in detail: To start with, the fact they ask you to pay in dollars straight away (no matter where you come from, if you are westerner you are supposed to be carrying dollars) tells you the way they see western tourism: walking atms. Locals don't pay, of course, but this is completely understandable. What I don't get is if members of SAARC countries are also supposed to pay a fee, why is this rarely enforced? Let me guess, SKIN COLOR. If you're lucky enough to be dark skinned nobody will ask you to pay any fee and you'll be ignored as you enter the city. But if you are white looking then you'll be the one to pick to pay the exorbitant fee. Very unfair also that the fee is asked to enter the whole city, not just the historic places, square or temples. What happens if you're just visiting a friend, staying in a local guesthouse or heading to a restaurant? You still have to pay. Is this the way local authorities help its people? Do you really think 15 dollars of every foreign visitor is destined to conservation, or lets say 12 conservation and 3 for admin.? I'm sorry but no I don't think so. At least they could make the effort to describe where your money will go before you decide if you agree with it and pay. But if you are still willing to pay because you travel all the way to Nepal and don't ask yourself questions, then go ahead and pay. Next year the fee will be 2000NPR, sorry I meant 20$.

    Beautiful place that is definitely worth the entrance fee. I would recommend getting a guide here, no need to book one in advance though, most on site guides will not charge more than 300 rupees. Don't hire the most pushy but the ones you find are most likeable

    Bhaktapur Durbar Square is in Bhaktapur. It is near Kathmandu. It has many beautiful palaces and temples. There are Taleju temple and 55-window temple. It has many statues too. Bhaktapur is famous for Yogurt and there we can see Asia's big God Shiva Statue which is situated in Saga. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I recommend you to visit here and capture your best moments.
