Decorated buildings, the Akash Bhairab Temple
by sachara
At nearly every square meter there is something to see in Kathmandu, so you can easlily miss something. So I saw this beautifull decorated building not before the third time I passed.
This building is at Indra Chowk and it is called the Akash Bhairab Temple or Bhairab of the Sky Temple, which is actually upstairs. That's why I didn't notice the first times, because there are a lot of shop stalls at the ground floor. To enter the temple you have to climb the steps at the right side, but Hindus may not enter.
Thankas!
by Vija_v
Making thankas is very special thing which you have to learn for many, many years! I really dont know all the stuff about thankas, but they are made with special paints on the special canvas. There is 5 different styles for thanka and mostly they are connected with religion- Buddhism!
I can say that good quality thanka is really beautiful artwork and costs really big money.
Bandipur village
by akikonomu
A hilltop village with good fresh air and hardly a vehicle in sight. The vehicles stop outside the town and only a lorry or two are allowed into the town square.
Hike down the mountain and discover a cave which has not been fully explored.
There's also a silkworm factory in the village where you can see mulberries and even eat them.
Taxis
by nattybabe
Taxis in general are a little bit scary for someone who is not used to how Nepali's drive. The cars are small and generally run down and the drivers go like bats out of hell! Just hold on and you will be use to get to your destination.
Taxi drivers will always try to rip you off. Always make sure that you agree on a price before you get in NOT when you arrive. If it's too expensive, get out and try another driver.
