Ignoring the international visitors (mostly from Europe), I'm left wondering if I'm in China or India... Nepal, straddling the border between the two, is a mix of both cultures. Tibet to the North and India to the south, there's buddist and hindu temples at every corner. Being so far from anywhere, the past is everywhere - interwoved into the slowly modernizing present. It's an amazing collection of colors, sounds and sights.
In our limited time here, we barely got away from the Kathmandu Valley. But, with the 4 days we did have - it was just enough to "see" everything worth seeing. But, I could sooooo come to Nepal again to check out other parts of the country. We barely got 40 km from city center, and the country has so much to offer those willing to venture away from Thamel's hippie culture and tourist lifestyle.
