Siddha Pokhari

This pond is located at Dudhpati, Bhaktpur. Situated near the Bhaktapur Hospital, this is the most visited pond in Bhaktapur. Is believe that this pond is built by a holy person so its named as Siddha (salvation in nepali). The beauty of this pond is its rectangular shape with surrounding walls with four gates at each side. Once a year during Dashain and during Indra Jatra, festivals of lights are celebrated here.

The pond has lots of fishes rared. Huge fishes of different colors like orange, white, yellow, grey are rared here.

Kamal pokhari

Kamal pokhari is located at kamalvinayak, north-east of Bhaktapur. This pond is named after its character of bearing the flowers lotus (kamal in nepali). These flowers are not available today due to the cleanliness purpose. 20 years back there used to be huge leaves of lotus covering the pond. During the lotus blossoming seasons the pond used to look very beautiful. Though without these flowers, the pond look beautiful even today.

The pond is near to the kamalvinayak buspark and Nagarkot buspark. So any traveler can easily visit here.
