Durbar Square, Kathmandu

Posted on by
There’s a Durbar Square in three of the main cities of Nepal. Durbar Square in Kathmandu is the largest, and the busiest. I enjoyed just sitting on the rooftop cafe and watching life pass by down below. Walking in Durbar Square was just as adventurous – cars, motorbikes, bicycles, and people all zooming by … the rows of tables of crafts and souvenirs for sale … children running by …

Bhaktapur

Bhaktapur is Nepal’s third largest city, and often called the medieval city. There is also a Durbar Square in the city, which is where we went walking around. Temples, courtyards and squares are all over, with cobblestone streets around the town. Also had their famous ‘juju dhau’ – ‘the king of curds’ (yogurt), eaten from a small clay cup.
