Shops at Thamel

Pashupati area

2 Nepalese women at the site. I think they are going to a wedding party.

The Royal Palace

The former King left the Palace last year so now it's open as a museum.

Indra Chowk (market)

Bouddhanath temple

Bouddhanath Stupa is the biggest stupa in Nepal in terms of height and expansion. I saw many Tibetan monks and buddhists visiting the site. Now this stupa is a UNESCO world heritage site.

This painting (the Wheel of birth and death - Bánh xe luân hồi) teaches us to live as a good person. A part of this painting is an image of torturing bad people in the hell.

I stayed in Thamel which is crowded and noisy. I suggest you to find a guest house in Jathaya. I walked from Thamel to this area and saw some quiet guest houses there. You can expect US$8 per night for a single room. A double room costs US$12.
