What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inIf you are not arriving as part of a tour group, you may take minibus (bound for Kamal Binayak stop in Bhaktapur) or big bus (bound for Charansingh stop in Bhaktapur) from the bus stop near Bhadrakali.
  • Get aroundRickshaws, tuk-tuks or taxis are not allowed inside the city: an inconvenience more than made up for by the quiet and clean air.
