The temple has a traditional pagoda-style architecture with a five-storied roof, making it one of the tallest buildings in the region, which is the central and culturally most important part of Bhaktapur and a popular tourist destination.
Nyatapola Temple is located in the central part of Bhaktapur district, Bagmati Province of Nepal. It is the tallest monument within the Kathmandu valley and is also the tallest temple of Nepal. This temple was commissioned by King Bhupatindra Malla, the construction of which lasted for six months from 31 December 1701 to 15 July 1702 in 17th century.
Nyatapola Temple By its name, the pride of Bhaktapurians Newari rises to its height. This architecture is just beyond the imagination of a normal person. A 33-meter towering temple, ideally, is furnished with a piece of amazing Newari artwork. Many archaeologists from different part of the world and researchers are getting interested in Nyatapola and its composition. No wonder, they also get wondered by this wholesome five-tiered architecture.
I recommend you all to travel at least once in life time in Nyatapola temple in Bhaktapur, and feels pride in life.
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.
Historic Landmark of Bhaktapur. Perfect example of Nepalese architecture. And a perfect place to study history and architecture. Lastly a perfect place for relaxing with cold breeze in evening.
Today I visited this Temple site , Beautiful and amazing art work done here .It is same as we see in Photos .From Kathmandu to visit this site Transport fare is NPR 30/- Per Person in Bus ,Taxi will surely charge more around 300 -350 through Online App .If one prefer Bike ride than it takes 100-150 (I am writing current fare rates).Time it takes around 30 minutes in bus ,as there is too much traffic during office time.For fast food there are small restaurant where you can enjoy foods .This temple structure is different from Other temples of Nepal regarding its height and the statue of deities are also well preserved .Temple near by Nyatapola is also huge and beautiful.

The tallest and most impressive pagoda styled temple of Nepal, Nyatapol is situated at word number 11 of Bhaktapur Municipality. This beautiful temple made of clay bricks and wood, is considered one of the finest architectural masterpieces of Nepal. Inside the temple, an idol of deity. Siddhilaxmi, who is the manifestation of wealth, has been installed. it is said that the temple survived the ravage of the major earthquake in1933 (Excedpt some monor damge to the celiling of the fifth floor)
This huge temple was built by King Bhupatindra Malla during the 16th century. According to the follore, the King himself had carried bricks like a laborer for the construction of the temple. Struts, doors and windown of the temple are embellished with attractively carved divine figures portraying divine stories. It is believed that the elephant above the stroung man standing on the front is ten times powerful than the man and it contubyes as deoucted there, Thus, the temple clearly prtrays creative traditionb of Newar craftsmen.
Rich with its history of cultures and people, Bhaktapur is one of the many palace areas in Nepal. Bhaktapur Durbar square was badly affected by eartqueake of 2015 but it is slowing reviving. The environment of the premise is getting back to normal.
This place has very traditional feel.Being the part of Bhaktapur Darbar Square,it has that traditional aesthetic feeling all over the place,designed so beautifully and has very peaceful environment.
Located in world heritage site Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Living historical trade markup of ancient architecture. Nyatapola refers to five story in local language (Newari).
This place makes me feel I'm 500 years back. Such a beautiful ancient structures and architectures.
Historical palce for the hindhu. It is famous for the Newari culture and tradition. It is built by malla king of Bhaktapur. It is built in 18 century ..
The majestic five-story pagoda stands tall among other equally impressive heritages representing the height of traditional newari craftsmanship and civilization. The stone steps to the temple are guarded on either side by stone sculptures of guards that are regarded to be 10 times stronger than the lower one. This is one of the few structures undamaged by the 1932 and 2015 earthquakes.

I Just A Want To Say This Word
"This Is Called A Real Beauty With Real Art"
Old Is Gold
Nice view and good location. Good service. Food just normal but too expensive fur what you get
In my opinion the fee (15$) Nepali authorities ask to visit Bhaktapur is a complete RIP OFF. Let me explain this in detail: To start with, the fact they ask you to pay in dollars straight away (no matter where you come from, if you are westerner you are supposed to be carrying dollars) tells you the way they see western tourism: walking atms. Locals don't pay, of course, but this is completely understandable. What I don't get is if members of SAARC countries are also supposed to pay a fee, why is this rarely enforced? Let me guess, SKIN COLOR. If you're lucky enough to be dark skinned nobody will ask you to pay any fee and you'll be ignored as you enter the city. But if you are white looking then you'll be the one to pick to pay the exorbitant fee. Very unfair also that the fee is asked to enter the whole city, not just the historic places, square or temples. What happens if you're just visiting a friend, staying in a local guesthouse or heading to a restaurant? You still have to pay. Is this the way local authorities help its people? Do you really think 15 dollars of every foreign visitor is destined to conservation, or lets say 12 conservation and 3 for admin.? I'm sorry but no I don't think so. At least they could make the effort to describe where your money will go before you decide if you agree with it and pay. But if you are still willing to pay because you travel all the way to Nepal and don't ask yourself questions, then go ahead and pay. Next year the fee will be 2000NPR, sorry I meant 20$.
Massive pagoda in Bhakthapur which was not damaged by the earth quake. With the darbar square under renovation, this stands as the main attraction at Bhakthapur. There are few bars and restaurants nearby.
Bhaktapur is a great place to stay outside of the Kathmandu city. Calmer and cleaner, and you can breathe. Saw some damage in the earthquake but they are rebuilding! This is one of the tallest pagodas in Nepal
A striking pagoda in the heart of the historic section of Kathmandu. You will be sharing this space with plenty of other tourists, but it's worth it. Take time to look at all the minute detail carved into the edifice, and be careful on the stairs! They're very steep.
