Guys !!! I went to Nepal this summer. I was planning to visit various places but due to the uncertain road stricks and political unstabilities, Kathmandu and some near by sights were the only places I was able to visit. I found out that things has changed since I left. It used to be Kingdom of Nepal but now its Republic of Nepal.  Lets not talk about the long ques for the gas, lets not even talk about the drastic price hikes.  I saw  burning tires, muddy roads, garbage, unmanaged system and what not. I saw rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer. They say this is normal coz its infection period. Everything gonna be all right.............................. I wander. Any ways things didnt turned out to be expected but there is no time for regrate. I grabed my SLR and went places looking for the things that I could relate my self......things that I left behind. Things that makes me feel Home.

Guys.... lets share our pics relating the beauty and the heritage of Kathmandu and throughout Nepal so that we can at least feel proud of what we have instead of complaining regarding what we dont have.

Machindranath !!! One of the most amazing jatras I,ve seen. As far as I remember I've witness this jatra every single year. Most interesting fact is that, it always used to rain at leat a few drops every single year at the time of jatra. May be its because Machindranath is a god of rain .

How about this photo of Pokhara. Sun's first glimpse on Fishtail taken from Sarangkot. Although mine is not taken by DSLR.

 

 

Rockey7,

Beautiful collection of pictures you have showcased in this thread. Well, I was home for 2 weeks in June and here is my contribution to the thread. Enjoy!

Rato Machindranath at Lagankhel

I realize my pictures are not of the best quality and not as panoramic as rockey7's. I use a simple Canon and try my best to take pictures in manual mode, therefore my pictures come out really grainy.

Here's one of Narayanhiti Museum a day after former king vacated the palace.

Students protesting against the hike in transport fares and demanding a 50% student concession.

Garden of dreams
