Trip to India & Nepal - Kathmandu

Our hotel ... the Ganesh Himal...had wonderful paintings in the downstairs areas.

And stunning murals in the main waiting room.






A woman roasting corn on the street near our hotel.

Our hotel had a great restaurant. Michael ordered a "sizzler" platter one evening.

And Barbara had an interesting looking spaghetti dish.


Scaffolding on Asian construction is usually made from bamboo.
This is my favorite juice stand. It is always beautifully decorated.


A tailor/mender with his sewing machine near the hotel.
Kathesimbhu Stupa in a sheltered courtyard.

Monks housing next to the Stupa.


And the beautiful Monastery.

I assume these men are waiting for work.

Coins nailed to wood as an offering to the toothache god.Marigold leis for sale near a temple.


More men waiting for work? This is a familiar sight in this area.
