Three Kingdom Heritage Day Tour

8 Hours

Each of the three Durbar Squares in Nepal is a dynamic representation of the nation’s rich cultural legacy, architectural prowess, and historical background. The Durbar Squares in Patan, Bhaktapur, and Kathmandu are enduring examples of medieval artistry that provide visitors with an immersive experience. These UNESCO World Heritage Sites are like living museums, with centuries-old palaces, courtyards, and temples decorated with exquisite carvings.

Located in the center of the country, the Kathmandu Durbar Square, which houses the living goddess Kumari’s residence, Kumari Ghar, Taleju Temple, and Hanuman Dhoka Palace, showcases the architectural splendor of the Malla kings. Known as the “City of Devotees,” Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a medieval marvel that features the Golden Gate, Nyatapola Temple, and the 55-Window Palace. The city’s dedication to preserving its traditional way of life and the well-preserved ancient structures are what give it its timeless charm. The exquisite Newari craftsmanship of Patan Durbar Square, which is housed in the historic city of Lalitpur, is evident in the Krishna Mandir, Hiranya Varna Mahavihar, and the Mul Chowk courtyard.

In addition to the architectural wonders of these Durbar Squares, people visit them for the lively festivals, cultural events, and the pronounced historical aura. The squares act as centers of culture where people can experience the diverse range of Nepalese customs, artwork, and spirituality.
