BHAKTAPUR

­­­BHAKTAPUR, NEPAL

Bhaktapur is a UNESCO World Heritage ancient Newari city, it is free of the beeping horns and traffic of Kathmandu. It is full of narrow alleys, wonderful medieval architecture and craftspeople. There are Pagoda roofs, richly carved wooden doors and windows and palaces built mainly of red brick. Wandering lanes opening on to beautiful squares and markets including Potter’s Square where the local black pottery is made and displayed

In the squares there are old pumps where the women still wash themselves and their clothes while others squat down to try to sell their wares of vegetables and fruit out of their baskets that they carry on their heads while walking.
