Join me and see some of the magnificent sites in this beautiful city.
Bhaktapur (Nepali: भक्तपुर ) Nepali: नेपाल [Nepal])
Known as the 'City of Devotees', the 'City of Culture', the 'Living Heritage' and 'Nepal's Cultural Gem', Bhaktapur is one of a trio (and Kathmandu and Patan/Lalitpur) of royal cities that dominate Kathmandu Valley's history. One of the most visited tourist destination of Nepal.
It was founded in the 12th century.
Bhaktapur's potters and handicraft industries are also known nationwide.
Due to its well preserved medieval nature, UNESCO inscribed Bhaktapur as a World Heritage Site since 1979.
A magnitude of 7.8 Richter scale earthquake struck in 2015. The earthquake badly damaged the Bhaktapur Durbar square, a significant heritage site included in the UNESCO world heritage list.
