Bhaktapur is one of the old capital cities in Kathmandu Valley. Much of the town still retains the old world charm and has the feel of a living museum. The well laid-out
Durbar Square (Palace Square) is seen with King Bupatindra's column with the Golden Gate and Palace of 55 windows in the background.
The all-wood
Chyasin Mandap pavilion is a showpiece of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
There's a temple in every corner of
Bhaktapur.
