On
our last day, we visted two ancient cities that have now been
subsumed by Kathmandu's sprawl. Bhaktapur and Patan.
Bhaktapur was once the capital of Nepal until
the second half of the 15th century. Some of the construction goes
back to the the 7th
century. It consists of palaces, temples and bathing ponds. It is a
UNESCO world heritage site. Patan is similar but less extensive.
The
first picture below is from Patan. The rest are from Bhaktapur.
