The first time I went to Nepal was in July 2015, just after the earthquake. My husband @starthere was in town for his humanitarian work. I was able to join him and we lived there for 3 months. During my time there, I was able to do some volunteer work but since it was not a full time job, other days I spent walking around exploring the streets of Kathmandu and taking photos. I haven't shown my photos to many others except for a handful of friends and family. I'm thankful to Steemit for allowing me to share with a wider audience.
We went along on a walking tour in Patan, which @starthere's work organized. All of the photos that I'm sharing were taken in Patan, one of the three kingdoms in the Kathmandu Valley.
Loving the colorful doors where the teenagers hang out.
Post earthquake, they used wooden support beams to prevent walls of their homes from falling.
Seasonal fruits during that time. Vendor stalls just have some overwhelming colors.
A women working at construction site. Since so many Nepali men leave the country to work abroad, usually in the Middle East, this many of the tough jobs, including construction, to women.
These Nepali kids were so gracious and generous with their smiles.
Doors. I have an obsession with photographing doors on wherever we travel.
An old vendor trying to sell me something.
We visited a lot of religious area around Patan Durbar Square. All of them have prayer wheels, which you have to turn only in clock-wise motion which is said to mimic the movement of the sun across the sky.
I just love these old men hanging out, laughing, and exchanging stories.
It's good to be a dog in Nepal! I have never been anywhere else that had so many napping dogs!
I'm actually not sure what this is, but I believe it was a type of mobile shrine. It's a tower in a wooden carriage that goes around town and people stop to pay their respects to it.
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into life in Nepal through these photos. Thanks for reading and more to come!
Those Nepali kids are really beautiful. Nice photography! @suitcasemama
