Walking in Kathmandu

When I visited Kathmandu in January 2006 I spent many days just wandering the streets of this amazingly complex yet beautiful city. Taking the time to just literally ‘follow your nose’ leads one to some very interesting discoveries. And always with the camera at the ready.

Central Kathmandu is quite compact and one can see many intersting things in a short space of time and distance. A major feature of the older part of the city near Thamel is the huge range and variety of temples. They come in all shapes and sizes with differing decorations and embellishments.

The one shown in the photo below was a small one on a street corner. In contrast with some others, not many people seemed to be visiting this one.
