Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is worth taking in Pottery Square on your self-guided tour of old Bhaktapur. You can see the pottery being made, fired and dried in the sun. Of course you can buy some too!

This is a must see on any trip to Bhaktapur. It's amazing to watch the skill of the potters throwing the pots. Beware, they will ask for a donation if you wish to photograph them at work, but it's worth it.

watch the potters doing there craft but beware if you take photos youw ill be expected to pay a small fee and they are very used to sneaky tourists now so if you want a photo pay them first and you will get a nice pose and a smail rather than a blurred snapshot well worth the effort for a few coppers

Pottery square is jus few minutes walking distance from durbare square or taumadhi square, where one can see the pottery works live and even buy different items of your desire.
If you are interested you can learn & even make pottery items for you.

Visiting Pottery Square is a grear opportunity to have a glimpse to the life of the local people. You can see there how they make the clay and finally dry the products in the worming sun. You can also buy souvenirs and try the tasty ice-cream made of yogurt they sell outside the square.

You will pass this little square if you are on a walking tour of Bhaktapur. It is down a small lane beside Taumadhi Square. I wouldn't have visited hadn't it been for a guide who chose to follow me all day. If you are a solo traveller you will probably have someone attach themselves to you also. The square isn't very interesting. There are a huge number of pots and it is interesting watching them being made.

Must say, this square is nothing special. You are kindly invited to try making a pottery but a "baksheeh" is expected and people turn really obsessed if you don't leave some money. I honestly prefer places where smiles are authentic and tourist are not seen as a only source of making extra money. Despite this bad experience the square is worth a visit but nothing more. You find pots and artisanal manifactury everywhere in Bhaktapur and receive a friendlier treatment.
Not really my taste.

...I suppose but mainly it was just a bit of a hassle having wares shoved in your face constantly. Still, nice to see how lots of the local souvenirs are (possibly) made.
