Nepal here were come, lots to see and do. Heaps of Temples to see and stairs and mountains to climb. We will do Mount Everest in style with a helicopter tour to base camp fingers crossed the weather permits.

Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world according to the U.N. This means we will see drastic differences between life in the cities and life in the small villages. The culture and people have a resilient spirit and it’s a beautiful place to visit according to what we have read and heard.

Nepal’s history dates back more than 2,500 years. But much of that ancient history is unknown. Many of the UNESCO sites we will be visiting date back to the 1400s.

Nepal has some development but remains about 80% rural. It’s also one of the least developed countries in the world apparently.

Nepal has struggled to meet tourism demand which has resulted in poorly maintained transportation infrastructures, hotels and places to eat so this will not be a 5 star vacation. We are looking forward to all that Nepal has to offer and hope we do not have any issues with the altitude or food.もっと詳しく

Kathmandu Airport
2019年5月1日, ネパール ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Flight was fine, 2 movies and reading. We landed 1 hour late due to a storm, we circled for about an hour over Kathmandu which was annoying.

Getting off the plane onto the tarmac then straight onto a bus for a very short ride, off the bus and then a blackout at the terminal this was also only short but very dark.

The airport was not as crazy as we thought the only weird thing was you had to go through security again to collect your bags.もっと詳しく

Hotel Mulberry
2019年5月1日, ネパール ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
The streets on our way to the hotel look dirty and very dark, it was night time so maybe in the daylight it will look more inviting.

Hotel is not bad, we are here for 4 nights, we had a quick dinner in the Hotel, an unpack and now bed we have been up for 24hours.

We will explore the area tomorrow.もっと詳しく

Swayambunath Stupa
2019年5月2日, ネパール ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Well our day started a little different than our itinerary, we planned on a get to know walk around Thamel but the tour company suggested we do the city tour today rather than later in the week.

So after a very quick breakfast we were off on our first of many sightseeing trips.

First cab of the rank was Swayambunath Stupa which is perched on top of a hill on the western edge of the Kathmandu Valley. The ancient Swayambunath Stupa is also known to tourists as Monkey Temple due to the 100's of monkeys. The Stupa is Kathmandu's most important Buddhist shrine. The sleepy, all-seeing Buddha eyes that stare out from the top have become the quintessential symbol of Nepal.

Once up the many steps you look down over Kathmandu which I think would be lovely if not for the smog.もっと詳しく

Patan Durbar Square
2019年5月2日, ネパール ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Back in the car and along incredibly bad roads. I don't think I will ever complain about Sydney roads again. The roads are full of huge pot holes , cars, bikes and trucks. It is also extremely dusty actually not very pleasant but that is all part of the experience.

Patan Durbar Square is located in the center of Patan city Lalitpur and was built by the Newar People ( Newar, or Nepami, are the historical inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley and its surrounding areas in Nepal and the creators of its historic heritage and civilisation.)

It is one of three main ancient royal durbar squares in the Kathmandu Valley. Patan Durbar Square is the smallest of all durbar squares it is often referred to as the most beautiful of all.

There are many temples and idols in the area. The main temples are aligned opposite of the western face of the palace. The entrance of the temples faces east, towards the palace. There is also a bell situated in the alignment beside the main temples, The Square also holds old Newari residential houses.

The square was heavily damaged by the earthquake in April 2015 and is currently being restored.もっと詳しく

Boudhanath Stupa
2019年5月2日, ネパール ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
More driving along the dreadful streets of Kathmandu. This time we are at Boudhanath Stupa which has a massive mandala which makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal.

Boudhanath was probably built in the 14th century after the Mughal invasions. After the arrival of thousands of Tibetans following the 1959 Chinese invasion, the temple has become one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. Today it remains an important place of pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists and local Nepalis, as well as a popular tourist site.

The Stupa is surrounded with cafes, tourist shops and homes. We had lunch at one of the cafes overlooking the Stupa.もっと詳しく

Pashupatinath Temple
2019年5月2日, ネパール ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Back on the road this time to visit Pashupatinath Temple. However, not being local we could not actually go inside the temple so we had to walk around the outside. The temple was not actually the reason for our visit it was something very different but a little history first.

The pagoda-style Pashupatinath Temple was constructed in 1696, but has been a site of Hindu and Buddhist worship for far longer. Only Hindus are allowed to enter the compound of the famous main temple, but you can catch glimpses of what is going on inside from several points around the perimeter wall. The nearby riverside steps are Nepal's most holy cremation site.

Now for why the visit . Despite being clogged with garbage and black with pollution, the Bagmati River is actually an extremely sacred river. Pashupatinath is the Nepalese equivalent of Varanasi on the sacred River Ganges. The cremation ghats along the Bagmati are the city's most important location for open-air cremations and we were there to see a cremation which was very interesting and weird at the same time. We then walked along the river behind the temple to view the preparation ceremony this was even more strange.もっと詳しく

Back to the Hotel
2019年5月2日, ネパール ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Back to the Hotel. This was an extremely long drive home. The roads appear to have been hit by bombs there were pot holes everywhere and the traffic was dreadful.

A very tiring day with what seemed hours in the car.

15,813 steps, 10.92 km and 27 floors of stairs according to my fitbit.

We had dinner in the Hotel before going for another short walk to see what happens at night here and as the photo will show not much. Everything other than a couple of cafes closed by 8.30pm.もっと詳しく
