Lora_D in Kathmandu

Continuing her year of living in India, Lora_D recently traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal. She found the city to be a welcome reprieve from hectic Delhi, and shared a lovely description of the city:

“The city itself is comprised of winding, narrow roads that remind me of Rome with an Asian flare. The wood carving on the older buildings and temples is just gorgeous and provides great eye candy during the rickshaw rides through town. Owen put it well when he said that Kathmandu can make you feel like Alice in Wonderland. All of the doors are so tiny that it seems the town was built for children. It can all feel like one big fantasy village at times. I think the average door height is about 5ft, max.

There certainly is no shortage of temples either. As you go through the streets of the city, the narrow alley will suddenly open into a small square with one or two small temples. They could be buddhist, hindu, or a mix of the two.” (more…)
