Throughout the week, I visited several major temples, including some which are on the edges of the Kathmandu Valley, as well as Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a famous village close to the city with lots of old, beautiful buildings and temples. I also have gone on some hikes in the hills around Kathmandu (still looking for orchids!) which has been a great way to get a break from the city.
By Monday, everyone will be back, but only for a few weeks...in November is another weeklong festival, Tihar, where, once again, everyone will be in full celebration mode!
