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.

Patan and a Festival

We went to the town of Patan, and there was a festival going on in the middle of their temple square, Durbar Square, in celebration of a former king and his wife who had rescued the town. It was the last day of the festival, and there were speeches going on, so we just walked around Durbar Square.
