Itinerario
Piazza Bhaktapur Durbar, sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità dell'UNESCO, è la storica città di Newar e uno dei più bei complessi architettonici del Nepal. Presenta palazzi, cortili, templi in stile pagoda e squisite sculture in legno, pietra e metallo che riflettono secoli di artigianato. Un tempo palazzo reale dei re Malla (XIV-XVI secolo), Bhaktapur fu un potente regno e capitale culturale della Valle di Kathmandu per oltre 300 anni. I punti salienti della città includono un 55 - Window Palace, il Golden Gate e Taumadhi Square con l'iconico Tempio Nyatapola. Nonostante terremoti e restauri, conserva un forte carattere medievale. Strette strade di mattoni conducono in quartieri tradizionali dove la vita quotidiana rimane strettamente legata a costumi antichi. Le comunità locali sono profondamente radicate nell'agricoltura e nell'artigianato tradizionale, nella ceramica, nell'intaglio del legno, nella lavorazione dei metalli e nella pittura, che rimangono mezzi di sussistenza attivi. La piazza è uno spazio culturale vivo dove rituali, feste e vita quotidiana si fondono perfettamente.
Panauti era un tempo un'importante città commerciale in epoca medievale, ma oggi offre un'atmosfera calma e pacifica. La città ben conservata è ricca di storia, con antichi templi e palazzi restaurati dell'era Rana. Si trova alla confluenza di tre fiumi - Brahmayani, Roshi e Punyabati - che si ritiene essere l'origine del suo nome. Intorno alla città ci sono bellissime terrazze di riso che riflettono il suo stile di vita basato sull'agricoltura e la cultura locale. La lavorazione tradizionale dei metalli, le feste, le fiere, gli stupa, le sculture in pietra e i templi in legno intagliato in modo intricato ne aumentano ulteriormente il fascino. Uno dei punti salienti è il Tempio Indreshwor Mahadev, risalente al XII-XIII secolo. Costruito in stile pagoda su un unico plinto, ha tre livelli, tre ingressi principali e dettagliate sculture in legno. Dedicato a Lord Shiva, rimane un importante sito religioso. Feste chiave come Makara Mela, Swosthani Purnima e Shivaratri, che dura 12 anni, attirano devoti e visitatori.

I did this a while back - Didn't realise my review wasn't done. Absolutely loved this day tour. My guide Dillip was brilliant. Such a great person to visit and experience Nepal with. His smile and happy persona was infectious. Had so much fun exploring these two areas. Bhaktapur is still my favourite ancient city - so beautiful to see it's still alive with people. I loved stepping out of the main city and exploring a village. The homestay lunch was delicious, the family were lovely and getting to see everyday life in the village was a great experience. I would recommend this tour any day. Loved our driver even though I can't remember her name.

Puspa is a great guide. There was no other guest, so we two women walked together through temples, palaces and craft workshops. That was great
Dear Value Guest, Namaste, Thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed the relaxed and personal experience with Puspa. It sounds like a lovely experience exploring together, and we are glad it felt comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely share this with her. Hope to see you again in Nepal! Regards,
What an amazing day! I highly recommend this experience-it is not to be missed! My guide Puspa was real treasure. She made everywhere we went come alive with her stories, knowledge and wonderful sense of humor! Our driver Shanti was a miracle worker in the chaos of the roads here. She drove so safely and perfectly! We also had an amazing lunch at the homestay house of Sarina. That was one of the best meals I have had in all Nepal. Her hospitality was beyond measure. This organization also supports women in every working capacity and I sure appreciate that. Don’t miss this experience!
Dear Value Guest, Namaste, It is so wonderful to hear you had such a meaningful day! Thank you for taking the time to share these kind words about your experience in Bhaktapur and Panauti. We are incredibly proud of Puspa and Shanti; it is fantastic to know that Puspa’s storytelling brought the history to life and that Shanti provided such a safe, smooth journey through the local traffic. We will be sure to pass your praise along to them! Sharing a meal with our local homestay is often a highlight for our guests, and we are delighted you enjoyed Sarina’s hospitality and cooking as much as we do. Additionally, it is wonderful to learn that you cherished our mission to support women-it is a huge part of our identity and it means a lot to know you appreciated it. Safe travels through the rest of Nepal, and we hope to welcome you back again!
This is a great one day tour to immerse yourself in the culture of Nepal. Puspa my guide was lovely and told me the history behind both towns.Shambhu the driver was very good at navigating some of the bumpy roads lol. Bhaktapur was much bigger than I expected and full of surprises, I got to see woodworkers chiselling large pieces of wood making a chariot for an upcoming festival. Went to a singing bowl shop where the young lady explained and showed me the benefits of using the bowl to help pain and balance your chakras. The highlight for me was going to a pottery studio and having a go at making something on the pottery wheel which I finally did with help from one of the guys. In Panuati we went to Sarinas homestay where she cooked the best food I have had on my holiday. This woman is No 1 in Nepal in my eyes and it is worth the trip to Panuati just to eat her food! You can stay at her home in Panuati she is part of the Community homestay project. Sarina Sainju #myhomestay I highly recommend this tour its a great way to get out of Kathmandu and see other places.
Dear Valued Guest, Namaste, Thank you for such a detailed account of your day with us. It is so great to hear that Puspa and Shambhu made your journey smooth and insightful, navigating those trickier roads! We are so glad you got to witness the chariot making and try your hand at the pottery wheel, those are the unique local moments that make Bhaktapur so special. It is also wonderful to hear your high praise for Sarina Sainju at Panauti Community Homestay; we are so happy you loved her cooking and hospitality. We will certainly share your appreciation with the whole team and the community in Panauti. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope see you back for more local experiences soon! Best regards,

We had an excellent tour of both royal cities. The guide was well aware of all the historical sites but also let us taste some. Our driver was always on the spot to drive us back and forth.
Great! Unfortunately, we only met everyone here on our penultimate day otherwise we would have used their support at the beginning of our holiday! The tourguid-in : extremely complete, a lot of knowledge , super gasoline, only recommended. The driver : confident, quiet, air conditioning, car extremely clean.
Dear Valued Guest, Namaste, Thank you for the feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the guide’s knowledge and energy, as well as the driver’s professionalism and attention to comfort. We wish we could have supported you from the start of your holiday. If you ever visit Nepal again, please remember us; we will always be here to assist to make your next adventure even more memorable! Regards,
We had a very nice day with the visit of the various squares of Bhaktapur and the discovery of the city of Panauti classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our Anup guide, with his in-depth knowledge, gave us a lot of information about Nepalese culture, religions, and history which allows us to better understand this beautiful country. At lunch we had a traditional meal at home which is a plus for this outing. Our driver drove with great caution what is important in the middle of Nepalese traffic!!! Thank you also to the agency team who showed responsiveness and answered all my questions
Dear Valued Guest, Namaste, We are so happy to hear you had a great time exploring Bhaktapur and Panauti! It sounds like Anup really brought the local culture and history to life, and having a traditional meal at a local home must have been a memorable experience. We are also glad the drive was smooth and that our team could help make the day go seamlessly. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope Nepal left you with lasting memories! Warm regards,
I recently went on a day tour and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very beginning, my guide was punctual and well-organized, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. She is extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about every place I visited, making the tour both educational and engaging. I highly recommend this day tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided experience. Hers expertise, punctuality, and genuine care for her guests truly made the day special.
