Bhaktapur transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Durbar Square take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Changu Narayan for the kind of night that only locals know about.
A medieval Newar city in the Kathmandu Valley, preserved almost entirely in its 15th-century form with extraordinary woodcarving and pottery squares.

Bhaktapur is primarily visited for history and art, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Durbar Square come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Changu Narayan — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
Bhaktapur charges an entry fee to the old city. Explore early morning when the squares are quiet and potters begin their work.
October through December and March through April offer clear skies and mountain views. Monsoon season (June-September) brings rain.
