Thamel district - first side of Kathmandu for most of  people coming in. Although it's walking distance to most travel agencies, it's culturally very unoriginal part of  Kathamdu, with outdoor and souvenir shop  one next to each other.

Older part of Kathmandu just south of Thamel

Killed buffalos - a sign of Dasain Hindu festival (cows are not killed, they are sacred)

Kathmandu old center alias Durbar Square - I found Durbar Squares of Pathan and Bhaktapur definitely more interesting

Pashupatinath- Nepal's oldest and holiest Hindu pilgrimage site.

People at Pashupatinath

View inside Pashupatinath temple, that is not accessible to non Hindus. I did not like Pashupatinath (and some Hindu temples) for this reason. In comparison, all buddhist temples were accessible and people there friendly to show anything.
