Bhaktapur (literally translates to "city of devotees") one of the major highlioghts of kingdon in Kathamndu valley. It is one of the Newa kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley and was the capital of Nepal during the great 'Malla Kingdom' until the second half of the 15th century. It has a population of more than 81,728, of which the vast majority are still Newa Nepa . Historically more isolated than the other two kingdoms, Kathmandu and Lalitpur, Bhaktapur has a distinctly different form culture, architecture, life style and language.
Bhaktapur has the best-preserved palace courtyards and old city center in Nepal and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its rich culture, temples, and wood, metal and stone artworks. This is supported by the restoration and preservation efforts of German-funded Bhaktapur Development Project (BDP).

We courage and allow travellers to experience it as this city wakes up, when citizens start the day like they did several centuries ago, going about their daily chores - worship, walking down street, people engaging in local markets, carrying vegetables , curd and milk products at early dawn of morning .
