Beautiful Panauti

Panauti is a hidden-jewel near Kathmandu, Very few tourists actually visit there. It is more of like a village with greenery and rustic charm. My guide was helpful to let me understand the history of this place. Bhaktapur is historically and culturally rich city. The near people there have different and charming lifestyle. I got to see people working at pottery square and had my hands on it. It was unique experience for me.
