    We did not visit the palace but walked around. The wood carvings are exquisite and could get one to create a photobook on its own!

    Beautiful ancient and historic place. Bhakatapur is rich in art, culture, monuments, foods etc. We can visit with friends and family and enjoy. The place is clean although it is crowned in holidays.

    Everyone loves a compliment, but it’s not always easy to find the right words. Sometimes you want to use just one word to explain what you think about someone, but finding that right word is the interesting part. The below is a list of 29 great one word compliments with a definition and an example of each one, showing how each word can be used.
  • By Bibhor Bista
    As the name itself suggests, the palace has 55 windows lying serially. The architecture of the palace showcases the rich Newa architecture of Nepal. The palace is one of the major attractions of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
