When I first visited Nepal in 1985, a visit to Bhaktipur felt like traveling back in time to the Newari middle ages. Motor vehicles were prohibited in the city center, a welcome change from the constant beep-beep of horns in Kathmandu.
Sadly (at least from the tourist's point of view), those restrictions have been relaxed somewhat, and kids on speeding motorbikes delight in scattering market crowds.
