| Basantapur Square |
I walked today to Basantapur Square, in the a part of the old city. The typical Nepalese architecture is both unique and detailed. Carvings on all the struts and elsewhere makes one wonder how the wood can be so old and still so well preserved. Brilliant! The vendors were set up along-side and I found a necklace and 2 rings - woo-hoo for shopping!
What stunning architecture! I have to say I have
never seen anything quite like it -ancient, beautiful. The mix of Buddhist and Hindu, both influencing the other is interesting. I am not sure of the ratio, but it is a gentle population...laid back. I must have taken 100 photos, some to be deleted, of course. I will post more photos on Facebook and send a link to anyone who needs it. Email Me!
Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, a country situated between China to the north and India in the south, east, and west, with 25.8 million people. It is clean and peaceful...at least what I have seen of it.
