      Bhaktapur has more temples per square foot than [wiki=4353676c1d926a96f511b148a4f03492]Patan[/wiki] or Kathmandu and is far enough out of town to keep the crowds away. As a World Heritage site listed by the UNESCO, Bhaktapur has been heavily restored since a 1934 earthquake severely damaged the city. To further restoration and preservation there is an entrance fee for visitors. But the city has again been heavily damaged recently by the 7.9 Magnitude Gorkha Earthquake on 25 April, 2015. Now it is either 1500 NRS or USD $15 for foreigners. If you planned to visit several days, you can ask the counter to add a note to have access to the city with the same ticket (at most one week). You will need your passport to get a weekly ticket, and you may be asked to show your passport on re-entry. Visitors from SAARC member countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) and China pay 100 NRS.
    • filter_dramaGet in
      If you are not arriving as part of a tour group, you may take mini bus (bound for Kamal Binayak stop in Bhaktapur) or big bus (bound for Chyamasingha stop in Bhaktapur) from Bus Stop near Bhadrakali. You can save time by taking Express Bus (this does not stop in between except in Maitighar and Sallaghari) from Bagbazar in Kathmandu. Recently, micro buses also started service of suttling between Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, which are pretty fast.

      For those who haven't experienced a public bus in South Asia, it will be a way to (literally!) rub shoulders with locals. In either case the ride takes about 40-60 minutes and drops you off just outside of town. The cost of the fare from Kathmandu to Bhaktapur is approximately 25 NRS (january 2014) by bus for local people. Average taxi fee from Thamel to Bhaktapur (one way) costs about 600-800 NRS for the 16 km drive. You can easily hail a taxi or pick up a return bus to either Patan or Kathmandu just outside of the first main gate that leads into the city.

      Once in Bhaktapur, walking is really the only way to experience the quiet, dusty lanes squares. There are no rickshaws, tuk-tuks, or taxis allowed inside the city-- an inconvenience more than made up for by the quiet and clean air.
