Werkbeschrieb:
For many, Nepal's capital Kathmandu is just a place of arrival; the base for an exciting trek into the Himalayas, the roof of the world. However, the city itself is just as fascinating and dense a place that is well worth exploring. There seem to be no clearly separated spheres of life here; under the haze that bathes everything in an orange-reddish glow, borders become blurred and everything overlaps: traffic and street trade, private and public life, religion, spirituality and day-to-day business. Many of the countless shrines and temples are used by both Buddhists and Hindus and are a destination for locals and travelers alike. Among other things, these photos show a Buddhist monastery school, the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the “Monkey Temple”, and a Hindu burial ritual.
