This trip to 20 ponds, including Bhaktapur Durbar Square, is a visit to many corners of this museum city. Although it is a demanding tour where you must walk for at least 8 hours, the findings of many preserved structures in every nook and cranny makes the trip worth it. This will be a first-time tour into the deep part of Bhaktapur city, showcasing its heritages and monumental structures along with the ponds that existed for centuries is the main aim of this trip.

In this package, we have included the 20 ponds, and the UNESCO Heritage Site of Bhaktapur: Bhaktapur Durbar Square, built centuries ago during and after the Malla regime.

  • Get to see the heart of Nepal through its history and people

    This was my first experience in Nepal - and it was such a warm welcome from my guide Pakanj. I went on a day tour with him from Kathmandu to Nagarkot and Bhaktapur city. First, we saw the sunrise along the Himalayan mountains ridge line, then a delicious breakfast on the mountain. Afterwards we went on a walking tour of Bhaktapur city and it’s ancient ponds. He showed me not just the history of Bhaktapur, but a glimpse into the everyday life of the residents. I even got to eat authentic Nepalese thali and enjoy the sites and sounds of the city. I felt very safe traveling with Pakanj and it was definitely worth it! I would definitely recommend the trip — I saw a side of Nepali life I wouldn’t otherwise have been able to see if I went on a typical tourist excursion.
