What a wonderful photos!! I have been to Nepal myself last year and recognize many places from your photos! I am not familiar with the Tamang Heritage Trail, but the photos of the trail look great!
Thank you Daphne. Next time, you should try the Tamang Heritage Trail – it’s literally off the beat.
Your photos remind me of my days in Nepal. Such a gorgeous place on earth. I am absolutely loved the Newari Culture. This country has varied experiences and everybody should visit it at least once. And, people of Nepal are the loveliest. some interesting frames.
Thank you so much for your kind word. I have only fond memories from Nepal, too.
Beautiful photos! You’ve really captured the action and colours of Nepal. I went once when I was a kid and have really wanted to go back recently!
Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad you have liked the photos.
