People who come to Kathmandu Valley before and after Eid al-Adha in autumn can deeply feel the local people's love for flying kites-roofs, streets, wilderness, parks, and children flying kites everywhere. In the eyes of uninformed people, children are just flying kites on the surface, but in fact they are far from it. This is a fight between kites. People try to cut their opponents' kite strings to shoot down their kites.

The way to protect yourself from the humiliation of disconnection and make your kite a deadly weapon is to arm your kite string. In the past, children usually made their own kite strings, and everyone had a secret recipe, which was usually made of broken glass, metal or resin. The purpose is to make the kite line sharp enough without hurting the wooden spool. Now people buy ready-made kite strings, 1000m RS40, and the most expensive one is the specially treated kite string imported from India, which costs 25 rupees per meter.

Another inevitable danger is Mandali .. The attacker tied a stone to the string and threw it at the kite flying at low altitude. The purpose is to entangle your kite line and drag it down, so it belongs to it. Paper kites seem simple, but they are very flexible. A kind of kite called Lucknow. (Indian city, the capital of Uttar Pradesh) is the most popular. The lowest price of a kite is 5 rupees, usually around 50 rupees. Ashan Street and Bhotahiti in the old city of Kathmandu are good places to buy kites. Bhaktapur is famous for pottery and wood carving. Shops and stalls serving tourists are concentrated around the old square in Tachupa Street.

Woodcarving and Puppet Baktapur's woodcarving enjoys a high reputation. Excellent woodcarving crafts can be found in stalls around the old town square in Tachupa Street and in the alley next to Mas in Poojary. The most common ones are replicas of peacock windows or masks of Bhairab, the god of terror. Among the thousands of puppets sold all over the valley, some of the best puppets are produced in Bhaktapur and nearby Simi.

Paper art products

Handmade paper, cards, photo albums and other paper products can be bought all over the city. ThePeacockshop (66 10820, 9: 00 am to 6: 00 pm, the workshop is closed on Saturdays) is very good. It is located in an alley next to PujariMath, near the Peacock Window. You can visit the workshops here and observe the papermaking processes such as flattening, drying, paper cutting and printing. Besides, you can also see how people make paper with lokta. Bicycle; Bicycle exercise

On the main road leading to the Bhaktapur-Anico highway, there are many buses and trucks whizzing by, and the roar is endless, so it is best to choose.

Parallel to it, go to Bhaktapur via the northern end of Simi. Try to avoid rush hour. There is a platform for buses, minibuses and taxis in the southwest of NavpokhuPokhari Pool in Bhaktapur. The minibuses to and from Kathmandu stop here, which is close to Duba Square and can be reached within walking distance. The last bus back to Kathmandu leaves at about 6: 45 pm. Because the local buses stop at Simi, the bus express is the best choice. It's about 350 rupees one way by taxi from Kathmandu to Bhaktapur. The bus bound for Najakote (Rsl5, 1 hour) usually leaves from the northeast corner of the city. The bus to Changguna Layan Temple (Rs8, 30 minutes' drive) leaves from the intersection of the north of the city and the road leading to Changguna Layan, with an interval of about 30 minutes. If you want to go to Durikur, you must walk 10 minutes to Ani Highway (via portes Square and Ramgat Stone Steps), where you can take a bus from Kathmandu and pass by (but it may be full).
