Description
The Bhaktapur Durbar Square lies 13 km east of Kathmandu. While the complex consists of at least four distinct squares. Bhaktapur is the living representation of how the entire Kathmandu Valley would have looked like during the medieval periods. The city is celebrated for its glorious architecture; sky-high temples built in pagoda style - which is the stairway to the heaven, fine clay pottery, and massive royal courtyards dating back to the 12th century, where devotees, still, celebrate their pre-historic festivals by equal amount of gusto and passion.Patan is 5 km away from, Kathmandu, but, despite such proximity, its 'preserved' ancestral uniqueness distinguishes it as a different environment to experience in a short travel. Patan is a melting pot of two religions, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Patan is also known as Lalitpur, "City of Beauty", and its unique Durbar Squares, temples, alleys, cuisine, hospitality and religious tolerance justify the pre-historic status of the city.
