Hi there! I couldn’t find a date for this blog post so I’m not sure if it’s from 5 days ago or 5 years ago :). I found it because I’m trying to find out if the Bhaktapur Market is really ‘temporarily closed,’ or if google is just saying that ;). Can anyone confirm if now (Feb. 12, 2023) it is actually open? I’m not there, so I can’t confirm on my own. If anyone knows the status (open some days/not others; closed for refurbishment/possibly weeks or longer, etc.) please do feel free to add a comment. It’d be much appreciated :).
