Guys !!! I went to Nepal this summer. I was planning to visit various places but due to the uncertain road stricks and political unstabilities, Kathmandu and some near by sights were the only places I was able to visit. I found out that things has changed since I left. It used to be Kingdom of Nepal but now its Republic of Nepal.  Lets not talk about the long ques for the gas, lets not even talk about the drastic price hikes.  I saw  burning tires, muddy roads, garbage, unmanaged system and what not. I saw rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer. They say this is normal coz its infection period. Everything gonna be all right.............................. I wander. Any ways things didnt turned out to be expected but there is no time for regrate. I grabed my SLR and went places looking for the things that I could relate my self......things that I left behind. Things that makes me feel Home.

Guys.... lets share our pics relating the beauty and the heritage of Kathmandu and throughout Nepal so that we can at least feel proud of what we have instead of complaining regarding what we dont have.

I realize my pictures are not of the best quality and not as panoramic as rockey7's. I use a simple Canon and try my best to take pictures in manual mode, therefore my pictures come out really grainy.

Here's one of Narayanhiti Museum a day after former king vacated the palace.

Students protesting against the hike in transport fares and demanding a 50% student concession.

It used to be lot more difficult back then to reach here since we had to walk 3 to 4 hr up hill but now it takes only about 15 min.

Beautiful pictures!!!

My eyes are dying to see pictures of Nagarkot, Sankhu, chovar and nearby places around town.

Never got chance to visit Nagarkot or Chovar this time but caught some sightings from Gokarna.
