5) Basantapur Durbar Square( The ocean of Nepal Art and Craft)

   Basantapur

a) Place for Souvenir seller

Basantapur is the main place for all the souvenir sellers . Early in the morning they are coming to install their little stalls and to deploy all their marvels.

Most of the souvenirs are specially made for the tourists . A lot of artisans and little factories are situated in Patan and Bhaktapur. So dont expect to find genuine antiques or Gurkha knives. The later are made of soft iron and useless if you want them for gardening.
