Kamal Pokhari, meaning “lotus pond,” is a well-known pond in Bhaktapur, Nepal with historic, religious and cultural values. It’s right next to Lord Ganesh’s Kamal Binayak Temple. The pond is one of the oldest and traditional ponds not just in Bhaktapur but in all over Nepal.

Bhaktapur has been acclaimed by heritage campaigners, historians, and water heritage conservationists as an example of how legacy should be protected in the face of growing urbanization. Despite the increasing degradation of water heritages in Kathmandu Valley, Kamal Pokhari has always stood as a hope of how urbanization and preservation can be done hand by hand. Kathmandu, Patan, Thimi and Kirtipur should learn a lot from the city’s attempts to revitalize its ponds and cultural places.

The Box Hub is located in the North East face of the pond where you can enjoy the majestic view of the pond while enjoying cuisines of different type. The terrace at The Box Hub should be your ultimate destination to enjoy the view.

Located in Nepal’s gorgeous Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur is one of Asia’s most popular tourist sites. This landmark is nearly as old as Kathmandu and Patan. Khwopa and Bhadgaon are the native names for this city. Many tourists visit Bhaktapur in a day because it is only 12 kilometers from Kathmandu.

55 Windows Palace

King Jitamitra Malla constructed the Palace of Fifty-five Windows for his 55 wives, with one window for each of them. The 55-window palace dates from the 18th century.

The Bhaktapur royal palaces, as well as various temples and other old structures dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, are common sights.

Nyatapola Temple

Nyatapola Temple is a temple in Bhaktapur, Nepal, that dates from the 18th century. It was the valley’s highest structure as well as the country’s tallest temple. The temple, dedicated to Goddess Siddhi Lakshmi, an embodiment of Goddess Parvati, was established in 1702. The Goddess’s idol, which is kept in the sanctum sanctorum, is said to be highly terrifying. The sanctum sanctorum is solely accessible to temple priests, although outsiders are welcome to tour the rest of the temple. The monument has been damaged by two large earthquakes in the region, but it has survived. As a result, it is also noted for its structural strength.

Siddha Pokhari

Siddha Pokhari is an artificial rectangular pond near Bhaktapur Durbar Square’s main gate. It is one of Nepal’s oldest and most traditional ponds. It was constructed during the reign of King Yakshya Malla in the 15th century. Ta-Pukhu is another name for Siddha Pokhari. On a clear day, one can see snowy mountain peaks from the pond, which is surrounded by buildings. Locals and tourists alike frequent Ta Pukhu, where they may be seen feeding the fish with food purchased from neighboring stalls.

Taleju Bhawani Temple

Taleju Bhawani Temple is one of the most auspicious and gorgeous sites in the Durbar Square, standing like a motionless sentinel. It was created by the Malla Kings to ward off evil and is dedicated to the Goddess Bhawani. The temple’s main feature is that it was constructed in the style of a ‘Mandala’.
