Durbar Square, Kathmandu

There's a Durbar Square in three of the main cities of Nepal. Durbar Square in Kathmandu is the largest, and the busiest. I enjoyed just sitting on the rooftop cafe and watching life pass by down below. Walking in Durbar Square was just as adventurous - cars, motorbikes, bicycles, and people all zooming by ... the rows of tables of crafts and souvenirs for sale ... children running by ...

View from the roof café


School children walking home






Waiting for fares ...




Carrying heavy loads on their backs ...








Taking a breather ....


The souvenirs ...








The holy men ... waiting to give you a tikka (blessing) ... for a small fee ...
