Bhaktapur Durbar Square

The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was previously the residence of Bhaktapur's royal dynasty. Visitors can explore the entire complex, which consists of four main squares – Taumadhi Square, Durbar Square, Pottery Square, and Dattatreya Square – which is locally known as Khwopa or the ancient Newa City. The Bhaktapur royal palaces, as well as various temples and other old structures dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, are common sights.


The Bhaktapur Durbar Square is located 13 kilometers east of Kathmandu Valley. The square as a whole is a spectacular showcase of Newari architecture. Every structure is a work of art in and of itself, and tourists will have a great time exploring. The earthquakes that struck Nepal in 1934 and 2015 badly devastated the square. The majority of ancient architecture was destroyed, including several buildings, statues, and structures. Other structures have been restored, but visitors can still see remnants of the destruction. Despite that facts, the square still remains one of the most beautiful historical sites in Nepal.
