Bhaktapur, Nepal

Bhaktapur is an ancient royal city in the Kathmandu Valley and the 3rd biggest city of it. Founded in the XII century by the King Ananda Deva Malla, it was once the capital of Nepal until the second half of the XV century.
Bhaktapur is listed as a world heritage by UNESCO for its rich culture, temples, and wood, metal and stone artwork. Walking in Bhaktapur was fascinating, wherever we would look at, there was something amazing to see: the temples carving, patchworks everywhere, kids playing in the street... Absolutely wonderfull!
There was something surreal about Bhaktapur, about the atmosphere we were in. It feels like we are in the middle of a theatre scene, lost in the set. We wouldn't have been surprised seeing a machinist changing everything all of a sudden!
