  • Overview

Bhaaktapur was developed as hindu city in the past. The city was developed in a paramparik design as rulers in the center, the high class people on the first circle, the merchants on outer layer and finally the service givers on the most outer layer. In the past the city was closed structured with walls on the outside. Every roads directly lead to the main palace square. The richness of the city was counted in the number of temples, monuments, wells, stoned paved roads, open grounds, and public buildings. Bhaktapur was the richest city of Kathmandu valley in the medival time of Nepal. It is still a agricultural district where the agricultural works going can be seen. The harvest season seems much colorful. The local way of life is so fascinating. The tradition and costumes of Newar people can be best observed here in Bhaktapur.
