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

- Nagarkot viewpoint for sunrise
- Airport run: Bhaktapur is a short drive from Tribhuvan Airport
Why choose a scooter & bike here
A scooter or motorbike is the fastest, cheapest way to move around a busy town and to reach places cars struggle to park. It suits solo travellers and couples with light luggage. Wear a proper helmet, keep to daylight for longer rides, and avoid wet, steep roads on a small scooter.
Best for
- Solo riders and couples travelling light
- Short hops around town and to nearby viewpoints
- Day trips where parking a car is difficult
- Budget-conscious travellers staying a few days
Local tip: A scooter is handy for the Nagarkot road, which climbs steadily. Check your brakes and fuel before the ascent.
Scooter & Bike Rental in Bhaktapur: frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to rent a scooter or bike?
Yes. You need a valid licence for two-wheelers and must complete identity verification (KYC) in the Rentify app. Helmets and safe riding remain your responsibility.
Can a scooter handle hill roads?
Small scooters manage gentle slopes but struggle on long, steep climbs, especially with two riders and luggage. Pick a motorbike with a stronger engine for hill routes.
Can I drive into Bhaktapur's old town?
Private vehicles are restricted in the historic core. Park at the edge and explore on foot.
