Today we were taken on a tour of 3 of the 7 World Heritage Sites that are in the Kathmandu Valley.
Details will have to wait because there was too much information in a short time that was hard to absorb.
We saw temples, stupas and a riverside cremation site. Most seemed to be combinations of Hindu and Buddhist. In Nepal they seem able to coexist quite well. Seems like a model others could follow.
The tour and the new hotel location show a very different side of the city. Where we are now there are paved streets, crosswalks with traffic cops, regular stores, few or no beggars or high pressure hawkers....
