Getting around Bhaktapur
Bhaktapur is the best-preserved medieval city in the Kathmandu Valley, with Durbar Square, Nyatapola temple and pottery squares. Vehicle access to the core is limited and a ticket is needed to enter the old city area, so most visitors park at the edge and walk. It is also the gateway to Changunarayan and the Nagarkot hill road.
Popular trips
- Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Taumadhi
- Changunarayan temple
- Nagarkot viewpoint for sunrise
- Airport run: Bhaktapur is a short drive from Tribhuvan Airport
Why choose a car here
Sedans, hatchbacks and SUVs suit couples, families and business travellers who want their own space and a flexible schedule. A car is the practical choice for mixed routes: city errands in the morning, a highway stretch in the afternoon, a hill road at the weekend. SUVs and higher-clearance models are the safer pick when your route includes broken or unpaved sections, especially in and after the monsoon.
Best for
- Families and small groups of up to four or five
- Business trips and airport transfers
- Weekend drives out of the city
- Trips with luggage, where a bike would not work
Local tip: Plan to park outside the pedestrian core and walk in; the old streets are not meant for cars.

Can I rent a car with or without a driver?
Both are possible. Each listing shows whether a driver is required or optional, so you can choose between driving yourself and having the partner's driver take you.
What do I need to rent a car to drive myself?
A valid driving licence for the vehicle category and identity verification (KYC) in the Rentify app. Check the app for the exact documents currently required before you book.
Can I drive into Bhaktapur's old town?
Private vehicles are restricted in the historic core. Park at the edge and explore on foot.
