Rebuilding the temples destroyed by the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. It's been years since it happened but they are still rebuilding. Some temples are easier to build than others. There's something magical about walking somewhere so ancient with people living normal lives. #Culture

If you find yourself in #Nepal in mid-April, be sure to celebrate Nepali New Year! The best place to do so is in #Bhaktapur, the ancient city on the outskirts of Kathmandu. This UNESCO World Heritage site is full of insane crowds and multi-day celebrations during April. One of the most famous feature of the celebrations are these huge carts which are lavishly decorated for the occasion. #festivals #celebrate
Just at 32km from Kathmandu, Nagarkot is the prime spot to experience an amazing sunset over the Himalaya range. With eight ranges visible (Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Jugal, Rolwaling, Everest and Numbur), I can guarantee you that this experience will be unforgettable. #Adventure
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is the plaza in front of the royal palace of the old Bhaktapur Kingdom, 1400m above sea level. It is one of three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

After visiting Bhaktapur, we took a bus up to see the ancient Hindu Vishnu temple Changu Narayan before it closed. It is considered to be the oldest temple in Nepal with pieces dating back to 325 A.D. We were lucky because it had just been storming hours before but we managed to see this sunset. This overlooks the Changu village. Warning: there seems to be a "tourist price" for these buses. We found out where everyone is charged 15-20 RPS we were charged 50. They do this because you can't understand any better. The difference in US dollars is only cents haha but still, I hate that feeling of being ripped off =S
