KATHMANDU-devoted to art.

Nepal has always been a paradise for mountaineers, trekkers, wildlife lovers and patrons of ethnic art and culture.Sadly, for quite long time tourism had taken a back seat due to nation's politically unrest situation.

Even though the easy accessibility has always made Mt Everest the top item in a 'things to do in nepal' list,there are many her attaractions thet leave a mark and visitors rgo home with happy souls. Bhaktapur or 'the city of the devotee' as it literal translations goes, is one such beautiful yet traditional city in the valley of Kathmandu.

After carefully preserving its elegant culture and lifestyle, Bhaktapur has been able to pull in people to see its art treasures as well as adventure lovers.


The capital city of the Greater Malla Kingdom till the 15th century AD, Bhaktapur was founded in the 12th century by King Ananda Malla from a collection of villages along the old trade route between India and Tibet. Ouite naturally a statue of the Malla king stands in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square.
The Durbar Square is an outstanding place, a UNESCO-listed World Heritage site, adorned by palaces, temples and monasteries, it's known worldwide for exquisted wood, metal and stone artwork.

The most beautiful structure we found here was the 55 Window palace. The elaborately carved windoes and doors are to be really gawked at! The seat of royality before 1769, the building now houses the National Art Gallery, which is known for its rich collection of a special kind of scroll painting called the 'paubha', besides other fascinating artworks in stone.
