We went to Kathmandu's Pashupatinath temple at dusk, not expecting to really see much, everyone goes during the day. however, it turned out to be quite an amazing experience not possible to convey in these photos86 views

|
after a while, people from the crowd started jumping into the performance area & dancing like mad. men, women -they were in a trancelike state. "trance" now conjures something so different, it's hard to convey the intensity of the moment86 views

the Garden of Dreams! what an evocative name, and so disappointing. 3 minutes walk from our hotel, we got lost & got to it after walking around for 40 minutes & finally taking rickshaws. basically nicely maintained old colonial garden83 views

still exciting here (by my fourth time of flying close to the Himalayas, i was too jaded and that initial sense of wonder was lost)82 views
