The city, one lane at a time
A walking route through the public squares and quieter lanes of Bhaktapur, with time to pause where your curiosity takes you.
2½ hours · On foot, uneven streets
All experiences
Take the smaller lane.
The most memorable details are often between the landmarks: the depth of a carved window, a doorstep conversation, a shaft of light across brick.
Our sample route connects Durbar Square with the surrounding lanes and courtyards. It is a way of looking as much as a way of getting somewhere. Wear comfortable shoes and leave a little space in the day.
An illustrative Aavren experience. The itinerary and imagery are fictional; no activity is reserved here.
