Bhaktapur is waiting for you

‘Despite the damage, many visitors are surprised at how much of Bhaktapur is actually intact. The Nyatapola (pic, right), Nepal’s tallest temple, still stands tall and proves that even though tragedy has struck, what is best endures. So is the Dattatreya Square. Few tourists have started trickling in, as much to see the earthquake damage as to admire the monuments and Bhaktapur’s unique charm. Some are climbing temple steps for selfies just like in normal times.’
