bhaktapur, nepal

Bhaktapur stole my heart.

 I love this little town. It's only about 30 minutes outside of Kathmandu, but it sweeps you into a whole other world from centuries ago. The city is so well preserved, and is a UNESCO world heritage site {which basically means it's adorable and expensive at the same time! haha} . We went for the day, and couldn't believe how peaceful and lovely the people and town remain. We ate lunch in an adorable restaurant on a terrace overlooking a courtyard where people milled about their daily life. 

The town is known for their artisans; pottery and painting being the order of the day. There is one large plaza called pottery square where all the local potters dry their clay. I even got to throw a few pieces of clay on the pottery wheel! Man, these potters were impressive...It's a lot harder than it looks, haha! 

If you are ever in Nepal, go to Bhaktapur:) 

happy Wednesday, love Katie
