Travel Guide

After visiting Bhaktapur, we took a bus up to see the ancient Hindu Vishnu temple Changu Narayan before it closed. It is considered to be the oldest temple in Nepal with pieces dating back to 325 A.D. We were lucky because it had just been storming hours before but we managed to see this sunset. This overlooks the Changu village. Warning: there seems to be a "tourist price" for these buses. We found out where everyone is charged 15-20 RPS we were charged 50. They do this because you can't understand any better. The difference in US dollars is only cents haha but still, I hate that feeling of being ripped off =S

My stay here felt like a movie. After a long walks around Thamel I’d return to this safe place to rinse off and sleep like a rock.
