    Bicycles are considered a cheap and convenient way of getting around in Nepal, particularly around the Kathmandu Valley. Commuting is difficult. Taxis are extortionately priced, buses are overcrowded, and the city is big enough that walking is often impractical. Increasingly, people are turning to bicycles as a remedy. : by karimsakr, Views[351]
         		 In Nepal, the sacred grounds of the temples are considered as multifunctional educational place for impoverished Nepali children especially little girls. While the boys are out begging for money or food, little Nepali girls are safe inside the temples courts… Here they pray, learn about the Gods, and get to know the basics of being good future Nepali women… They spend most of their time playing inside the temples’ alleyways. : by karimsakr, Views[355]
         		 Staring out from a monastery, the Himalaya are framed by snow and barbed wire. The space and silence of the mountains are in stark contrast to the congestion and noise of the city. The prayers of the threadbare flags, weathered by the elements, seem written on the mountains and sky. : by edubya, Views[315]
         		 I encountered two Nepalese children on a remote mountain pass. Unencumbered by the pressures of the city, they were at ease in the presence of strangers. The engaging stare of the boy in the brightly coloured hood was surprisingly interrupted by the unabashed curiosity of his friend. : by edubya, Views[277]

    As the protests abated, we were able to explore the city. Here a homeless woman takes refuge from the frosty Kathmandu winter’s night. Swaddled in rags, the flames illuminate her face as she worships the warmth.: by edubya, Views[235]
         		 As we arrived in Kathmandu, the city was grinding to a halt under the strain of widespread protests over petrol price hikes. I captured this protester as our concerned driver tried to navigate the maze of closed roads and fire barricades. The relaxed face of the protestor contrasts with the urgency of the scene, and tells the story of an impoverished city in which protests are all too commonplace. Moments later our car was ordered to turn around. : by edubya, Views[249]

    Balachatrdashi Is a Hindu celebration observed in Pashupatinath, the most sacred Hindu temple in Nepal with thousands of pilgrims coming from Nepal and other south Asian countries.

         		 The Children of God live near Pashupatinath temple, in Kathmandu. They collect coins from the river Bagmati, thrown by families of deceased people. They also collect personal belonging like clothes. The families of those who died, don’t care about them taking the coins or clothes, as once death, the person no longer needs them: by gerardo, Views[706]
