Kathmandu | How I Experienced Nepal's Kathmandu | Travel Blog

KATHMANDU a small city is the capital of Nepal is a hometown for many pilgrims and tourists for its beautiful and cunning attraction. Here I will describe the Kathmandu that I experienced
Kathmandu are the most sacred for Hindus and Buddhists. I booked a cheap room in the centre of the town . At the pashupatinath temple there is a slogan which proclaims ' Entrance for Hindus Only ' . I saw many priests , dogs , devotees, donkeys , monkeys and many other tourists that roam through the streets. There are many worshippers that people are trying to get their attention.Then I saw princess of the Nepalese royal house appears near the pashupatinath temple and everyone welcomes . By the main gate Party of Saffron clad Westerners struggle for entering . Policeman is not convinced that im a Hindu and finally I got accepted.Then I saw a monkey who jumps into shivalinga then runs down to the river , the holy Bagmati that flows near it . Washerwomen are in their work and children baths and corpse is being buried near the banks .
Then we moved on to the famous Baudhnath stupa , the shrine of Kathmandu Buddhists . It's a white dome ringed by road .It's heaven of quiteness in the busy road and there are many shops around the stupa which sells souvenirs and other products. Most of the shops are owned by Tibetan immigrants .
Kathmandu is vivid , scenic , religious with small shrines to flower - adorned deities along the narrowst and busiest streets . There are many fruit sellers , flute sellers , postcard shops , cosmetic shops , fashion stores etc. Film songs can be heard from the speakers of the radios and car horns . Motorcycles , vendors , bicycle riders shout out their waves . Then I bought a roasted corn and a pineapple juice from a shop and I feel much better for it. Then i took a bus and train to Patna then sailed up to the Ganges z Benares to allahabad then to the Yamuna , past Agra to Delhi . Then i booked my next Nepalese airline flight to india . Then a saw a flute seller standing in the corner of the square near the hotel . In his hand is a pole attached at the top of from which fifty to sixty bansuris protrude In all directions. The moved to a homeless man who was feeding a small pigeon. I wondered that how people can be so sweet to all the living beings . Then in the evening I saw the sunset near to the temple shot and very sad about the return . I wished to stay Kathmandu for five more days. I was also affected by the familiar phrases on the bansuri surprises me at first then have the dinner in a local Nepalese food stall and moved to the hotel , packing for tomorrows journey . . . . . . . . . #kathmandu#blog#trip#tourist#india#kerala#travelblog

Interconnectivity in Travel. Dispatches from Nora’s field

Although, at that time I didn't know it had changed. I was a leader at a university fencing camp and only really heard reports on the radio while on the drive in every day. Much like Sean of the Dead where all the reports around them showed a world in chaos, I was happy to live in a little bubble of sports during the day, pints in the evening.
