Out and about in Kathmandu


These photos were taken as slides on a kodak instamatic in the mid 1970s. The quality isn't great but they are special to me and I think worth sharing.They were taken in and around the town of Kathmandu, Nepal. In 2015, a severe eathquake struck  Kathmandu. 9000 people were killed and more than 600,000 structures damaged or destroyed.
These are musical pipes that he is selling.

    Hello, wonderful images from your trip. What a beautiful place, the buildings are lovely. I assume some are temples? Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!

    We almost went to Nepal, a couple of times. We ended up in Goa. I think your photos stood the test of time. I'll bet Katmandu is still much the same but no tourists this year.

    I think it was a rather fashionable place to visit in the 70s and that then borders were less complicated.

    I love the last one of the two crossing children. So children's book for some reason.
