After having a delicious breakfast at your hotel, our tour guide will drive you to Patan and Bhaktapur to visit the ancient palace. Compared to Kathmandu, it is quieter, less frenetic, and more Buddhist. Patan is called the city of arts for its incredible wood carvings. But the people of Patan call it Lalitpur, a city of beauty. Patan is listed in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has its royal palace with gilded doors and windows. Patan Durbar Square is not a very large area, but it is a concentrated mass of temples. It is all arranged regularly, so it doesn't feel crowded. It displays the most impressive Newari architecture seen in Nepal.

Bhaktapur, the city of devotees, has many names and even more facets. Formerly also known as Bhadgaon, Khwopa, and Khwopinggram, this ancient Newar city is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This city, once an independent kingdom, has a fantastic Durbar Square with its 55-windowed palace. Numerous temples surround the square with exquisite stone carvings of animals and idols. From there, there is the option to travel around the city to other religious sites with temples. Most likely, your final destination will be the impressive Nyatpole temple square.

Bhaktapur is famous for its pottery. The city still retains a medieval atmosphere with its winding houses, cobblestone streets, narrow alleys, and traditional squares. The countryside begins just outside the city walls. During harvest time, the entire potter's square is full of rice

 In April 2015, Nepal was rocked by a massive earthquake. The damage to the Durbar squares in the valley was dramatic. Some temples were destroyed, others damaged. However, most of the treasures are being restored to their former glory. In the case of some temples, restoration work will take several years.
