Private Day Trip to Bhaktapur City and Changu Narayan Temple

In the morning you will be picked up by your driver and personal guide at your hotel. Your sightseeing tour starts in one of the three Kingdom cities— Bhaktapur. After a 45-minute drive on the newly opened highway between Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, we will arrive in the UNESCO World Heritage City.

Bhaktapur still has the appearance of a medieval city and it may give you an impression of what Europe may have looked like centuries ago. Bhaktapur is home to the traditional Newari culture. In Bhaktapur we will visit beautiful buildings such as the royal palace with its golden door, Nepal's highest temple, the five story high nyatapola, potters' square, where the people still make pottery in the traditional way and many, many more attractions. Bhaktapur will stimulate all your senses and will leave you with an incomparable impression.

Before driving to Changu Narayan, we will enjoy lunch in the historic centre of Bhaktapur.

After lunch we continue to Changu Narayan. In this temple, examples of stone, wood and metal crafts can be seen. The temple is a symbol of the religion and faith of Kathmandu valley and plays an important religious role. The major attraction in this temple is the Vishnu image with ten heads and arms.

Apart from the religious value of this site, due to its location on a Hill Top, Changyu Narayan also offers great views on Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and on clear days the Himalaya range.

At the end of your tour, you will be dropped back off to your hotel in Kathmandu.
