This UNESCO Heritage listed city also considered as the neat city where tradition and modernization walk in sustainability.
Bhaktapur just 12 km east of Kathmandu is one of the most visit places in Nepal where you can see locals who are proud of their city and culture. Most of the women would be seen in their traditional, Newari, attire, who would do their laundry in public - but artistically crafted - taps, farmers would be seen here and there carrying vegetables. This city has preserved the Newari value as a mother would keep their children safe, so it would be not hard to feel the aroma of ancient Newari culture once you reach the Bhaktapur.

Beside that there are number other worthwhile things to see as well and that includes five-storied Nyataponla Temple which is the country's tallest pagoda temple, the giant three-storied Dattatreya temple which believed to have been built with the trunk of a single tree, beautiful Pottery Square, one of Nepal's signature sights The Peacock Window, Hanumanghat, and many more.
