EXPERIENCES

Bhaktapur by Evening

Explore the local life and heritage of an ancient town.

As the sun sets on the horizon, the courtyards of Bhaktapur are adorned with a warm glow, creating an enchanting ambience. Locals gather in public courtyards and cosy corners, engaging in leisurely conversations and evening rituals, playing traditional music, singing religious hymns, and lighting oil lamps around temples and stupas, living with their heritage.
The evening is further enriched by our curator, Mr. Peepul Subedi, who is a priest by profession and a scholar by choice. He will share stories of the rich heritage and the cherished traditions that have shaped this ancient city
