Bhaktapur, the third of the "Royal Cities," rests on the old trade route to Tibet outside Kathmandu. For Bhaktapur, the trade route was both an arterial link and a significant source of wealth. Its relative remoteness allowed the city to develop independently and in ways that recognized it from the other two cities.

The whole area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are outstanding examples of intricate wooden or stone carvings throughout the square and its many ancient buildings and temples. These attractions include the 55 Window Palace, Golden Gate, Lion Gate, and the Mini Pashupati Temple.

Hundreds of colorful prayer flags flap in the wind around the stark white and gold monument.

The glacier-fed river offers Level 5 rapids at its height, but if that’s not enough action, there is also an exciting bungee jump located dauntingly high above the river. It is the highest free-fall in the world. Notwithstanding the nature of the sport, the bungee is remarkably safe; it was designed by the Kiwis behind the famous Queenstown bungee jump in New Zealand.

This stunning Phewa freshwater lake is the second-largest in Nepal and reflects its waters' impressive Annapurna mountain range.

Named the Tal Barahi Temple, this pagoda can only be reached by boat and is very popular with visitors and pilgrims alike.
