After spending a month in India, I stopped in Kathmandu, Nepal before my full move to Vietnam. I had no trekking planned so I devoted all my time to exploring the city with my camera. After walking plenty of dusty dirt roads, narrow streets, and river banks, I was able to find some of the more interesting spots that you can’t find online. Kathmandu is a unique city with its own atmosphere of Nepalese culture, architecture, crumbling buildings, and dusty skies.
You need a little time to really discover the city outside of Thamel’s hippy tourist section, but it was worth all the walking. So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Kathmandu…

Hi
Just to mention that Patan located just 5 kilometers from Thamel is a great city for streetphotography….less touristic, less dusty, more authentic and beautiful,…. A paradise for streetphotographer…
