Temples of Kathmandu

Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal

On previous occasions I have written about the vast number of temples and other religious buildings in Kathmandu. Seeing them is unavoidable. At almost every turn – there is another one. Some are in quite open squares where many people congregate to talk, sit around in the sunshine or carry on a trade such as selling food.

Others, like the temple shown in the photo above, are crowded in by the surrounding high-rise buildings. A five or six storey building in Kathmandu IS a high rise building; few are higher than that.
