Enjoyable Cultural Trip To Bhaktapur

I arrange the visit to Bhaktapur Durbar Square with the Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd. The whole arrangement was excellent. My tour guide was super knowledgeable. He explained the entire history of Bhaktapur. This important city, the former capital, and today's capital of Nepalese culture is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you are in Kathmandu, you should not miss the visit. The city can be reached by a private vehicle with a driver. The area is very large; the ticket comes with a map to help you find your way around. There are four main places to visit, the most important is Durban Square. The city has the charm of bygone times and is, therefore, the cultural capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
