Kathmandu's Livelihood｜Nepal in My Lens: Durbar Square

Kathmandu's diverse faces... Duba Square and streets MEMORYIMAGE©️📷 A purposeless journey. 🌟Highlight features: The center of Kathmandu is Durbar Square, while the Tamel district in the north of the city is the base camp for independent travelers. Most budget hotels are located in the central area of Thamel, and the ancient, deep and irregular alleys can satisfy your nostalgia. Durbar Square, here encompasses ancient architectural monuments from the 16th to the 19th century in Nepal. There are more than fifty temples and palaces standing on the square, maintaining their original architectural form and style since the medieval period. The temples and ancient relics in Durbar Square all look very similar. In order to distinguish them, the square can be divided into two parts. The first part includes: Kumari Temple, Narayan Temple, Shiva Temple, and Shiva-Bhawani Temple. The second part of the square includes: the statue of King Pratap Malla, Hanuman Temple, and Kala Bhairav Temple. ❤ Recommended attractions: At the end of the first part of Durbar Square, there is the Shiva-Parvati Temple, located at the corner. This temple, mainly built with red bricks, faces the Kumari Temple across the square. The second part of Plaza de la Doba starts from the statue of King Plata Bumara, which sits high on a pillar. As most of the historical buildings in this area were built under the initiative of King Bumara, later generations erected the statue as a memorial. Located to the left of the statue of King Malla is the Deogarh Treasures Temple, and on top of this temple building is the former king's private prayer room. Facing the statue of the king is the Jokhang Temple, a building constructed in the 17th century with a double sloping roof supported by angled pillars. On the back of the wall of the De Guta Leizhu Temple, there is a large-scale Karl Bairafo relief embedded in the corner of the building. Passing through the ancient ruins where the statue of King Mara is located, there is a series of buildings ahead. Among them, there is a statue standing on the side of the entrance of the Hanuman Monkey God Palace, which is the mount of Prince Rama in the epic "Ramayana".

Stunning Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal

Beautiful Bouddhanath stupa is one of the must place in Nepal where we have to visit. It is located not far from Kathmandu international airport and Pashupatinath temple(both are heritage sites). We can plan to visit both places in the same day. Many people go to pay respect and make merit (walking meditation around the stupa and feed the birds) There are lots of nice cafe surrounding, good to drink and enjoy view if you have enough time. Lots of souvenir shops surrounding, not that expensive (can bargain). #fallingforfall #nepal Getting There - taxi (~700 NRps from Thamel) Attractions - beautiful stupa and shops Hotels - Food & Restaurants - coffee shops Shopping - lots of souvenir shop#

Serenity at its peak.

Boudhanath Stupa. This is what I call serene.#bucketlistreboot#mytripvlog #stupa #nepal #peace #peaceful. Named after its immense stupa, Boudhha is a pilgrimage destination for Tibetans. Devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes and visit nearby monasteries and schools for prayers and seminars. Tucked-away eateries serve up momos and thukpa noodle soup, while more upmarket restaurants offer stupa views. Silk thangka paintings are a popular buy in the area’s souvenir shops. The vibe and the atmosphere around the stupa always puts to peace.#bucketlistreboot

Stayed in Kathmandu for a month and everything about it was magical😍. Although it was summer, the weather in kathmandu was perfect. It was hot during daytime but cool at night time. We had rainy days which helped with the summer heat and it was just perfect compared to other cities in Nepal, which were just extremely hot. We stayed in an apartment near boudha and the view was just amazing no matter what time of the day you see it. Especially the Boudhanath Stupa, it was just majestic and magical, you just get a feeling of relief when you watch it, its pleasing to the eye and the soul, it was really fun doing circles around boudha. Kathmandu is very lively in the day time but even livelier at night. We did frequent thamel which is the place to experience proper nightlife in nepal, it just doesnt sleep. We went to club Platinum , Senate and LOD and had the best experience ever drinking and doing shisha with friends and locals🍾🤩. Definitely recomment visiting this capital city of Nepal🤩❤️ #staycation #staycations #nepal

The Tamil area is the busiest neighbourhood in Kathmandu. It is the most densely populated neighborhood in Nepal and even South Asia. It is also the most abundant nightlife in Nepal, but the crowd is also very uncomfortable. It is reported that only tourist special vehicles, water supply vehicles, security vehicles and ambulances can enter Tamil after obtaining special permission. However, there are still many cars that will enter narrow neighborhoods. But in the Tamil area, only two vehicles are free to enter and exit, one is a bicycle, but a tricycle. Bicycles are generally used by hawkers to sell fruit, while tricycles are used to pull guests. When taxis are banned from entering the Tamil area, tricycles become the main means of transportation for tourists. But the price of a tricycle is not cheap!

Nepal Kathmandu shopping guide, local must buy hand letter sharing like my share remember "Follow" will continue to share more than 200 cities in 34 countries to go , referred to as Jiadu, is the capital of Nepal and the largest city to Kathmandu shopping. The must-see is Tamil Street, known as Little Hong Kong, which is a place where many tourists gather. The streets here are very narrow, the shops are dense, many shops are still being renovated, dusty, remember to wear masks. If you are planning to buy some local specialties and return home, then the hotel near Tamil Street is the best choice. Address: thamel, kathmandu How to get there: Take a taxi from the airport for about 500 rupees (30 RMB) So what can I buy on this street? 1. Local hand-embroidered scarves, coin purses, backpacks, costumes, Kashmir's scarves, etc. 2. Jewelry , crystal enamel, bracelet, ancient 3. Thangka, and other Buddhist supplies 4. Himalayan series cosmetics, medicines 5. Nepalese black tea Notes : In addition to some fixed-price items, other items need to be bargained, 1/2 or even 1/4 of the price, can you talk about your skill.

Nepal, seeing her first sight, may not fall in love with her so easily, however, the more you understand it, the more you want to be close to her. . . The taxi here seems to be still in the early 90s of China, with a small body, dilapidated interiors, and dusty windows. From the airport to the hotel, about 30 minutes by car, when the car left the airport, I realized that I really came to the legendary Kathmandu, the air, the dust. . . Pedestrians walked calmly on the narrow sidewalks. The people sitting in front of the store were two or three people. They smothered the dust, motorcycles, taxis, buses, and piled them into a pile, blocking the road. Originally thought that dust was the biggest enemy of the city, but found that a heavy rain poured out the dust, but it brought another problem. . . Muddy road. The whole city was not covered with a thick layer of ash, but it was covered with a layer of mud, and later discovered that this is their simplest existence. Tamil District, this is a very flavored neighborhood, a small and crowded trail, intertwined, here is an old town in Kathmandu, no luxury buildings, only the mark of time. In the Tamil area, getting lost is a common thing. On both sides of these labyrinths, there are densely packed small buildings, the buildings are not high, and one by one window squats, looking up, there will always be many People squatting on the window sill and looking back and forth to the crowded streets, it seems to be part of their lives.
