Embark on an elegant four-hour immersion into the wonders of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, commencing with a seamless departure from your hotel. A picturesque hour's drive from Kathmandu will deliver you to the distinguished entrance of this former royal palace complex. This historical heart once resonated with the presence of the Malla Kings from the 14th to the 15th century, and later, the sovereigns of the Kingdom of Bhaktapur until the late 18th century.

While the grounds that once comprised the royal palace now house government offices, educational institutions, and private dwellings, the Durbar Square itself, echoing the splendor of its counterparts in Kathmandu and Patan, stands as a captivating collection of temples, palaces, and courtyards, each an exquisite testament to traditional Nepalese architectural heritage.

Our exploration begins with the viewing of the magnificent Golden Gate, an artistic threshold that unveils the majestic 55 Jhyale Durbar, the Palace of Fifty-Five Windows. Here, you will witness a preeminent display of the intricate wood carvings that defined the Malla era.

Our journey then gracefully progresses to Taumadhi Square, where the soaring five-tiered Nyātāpola Temple commands admiration as Nepal's tallest temple, a testament to the vision of King Bhupatindra Malla, completed in 1702.

Following this, we shall stroll through Pottery Square, a lively enclave dedicated to the timeless craft of pottery. Though more intimate than Durbar Square, it presents a charming opportunity to acquire authentic Nepalese handicrafts.

Our enriching experience culminates with a visit to the revered Dattatraya Square, after which you will be comfortably returned to your hotel.
