I used to be eager to visit Bhaktapur as someone told me about it in my best friend. I wished i could visit Bhaktapur It came true when i was 23 years old when my parents took me there on a family tour. i found Bhaktapur to be more beautiful than i had imagined. I odored it a lot.

Bhaktapur is the most beautiful city in Nepal. It is located about 20km. east of Kathmandu valley, Bhaktapur is know as the  'city of culture' the 'living Heritage' the 'city of Devotees' and Nepal's cultural capital, because of the city's medieval architecture , its rich tradition of ancient  music, handicrafts and ritual dance, as well as its present renaissance of vibrant Newar culture. The conch shaped historic city is spreading over just an area of 6.88 square kilometer at 1,401 metere altitude. The city was founded in 12th century by king Anand Dev Malla. Bhaktapur was the capital city of the greater malla kingdom in the Kathmandu valley till the 15th century AD. The many of Bhaktapur's greatest monuments were built by the malla rulers. Bhaktapur has more temples per square foot than Patan or Kathmandu and it for enough out of town to keep the crowds away. Given such unequaled opulence in  ancient art and culture , Bhaktapur is more likes an open museum, and the ambiance  here is such that it instantly transports visitors back by centuries the moment they step into its territory. Bhaktapur has been designated by UNESCO as a world Heritage site.
