Enjoyable Cultural Trip To Bhaktapur
I arrange
the visit to Bhaktapur Durbar Square with the Nepal Tour & Trekking Service
P. Ltd. The whole arrangement was excellent. My tour guide was super
knowledgeable. He explained the entire history of Bhaktapur. This important
city, the former capital, and today's capital of Nepalese culture is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. When you are in Kathmandu, you should not miss the visit.
The city can be reached by a private vehicle with a driver. The area is very
large; the ticket comes with a map to help you find your way around. There are
four main places to visit, the most important is Durban Square. The city has
the charm of bygone times and is, therefore, the cultural capital and UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
