After our time in Cambodia it was time to fly to Kathmandu. the trip involved a 24 hour stop over in Kuala Lumpa airport, i quite enjoyed the stop over as this airport is clean and extremely organized. the toilets have someone devoted especially to cleaning them. Then it was on to Nepal, i wasn’t to sure what to expect in Kathmandu, i had been told stories, i had also read a few things in the news, but i was quite overwhelmed when we arrived in the city. It had reminded me of a similar version of India with the Chaotic nature of everything. We got a taxi and asked to go to the main tourist area of Thamel, from there we were greeted with a barrage of people asking to buy things especially drugs. at one point i think i was asked like 10 times in one stretch of road.  Thamel area was a different flavor to what the rest of Kathmandu was, it had been cleaned and almost polished as this was the way the tourists liked it. The main thing that struck me was the amount of music i could hear it was like a feast for the ears. The first few days were just getting used to Kathmandu and the surrounding area. We decided to go for a walk to Dubar Square one of the main attractions to the Kathmandu valley, here you could see traditional medieval architecture still in its traditional form, with pedestrians, carts and vendors all making up the landscape. It truly is an amazing place and well worth a visit. it was around Dubar square is where i tried my first taste of the iconic Nepali dish Momo’s. We soon found being in Nepal that there was a real problem with electricity, especially in Kathmandu you could see when the power went off you would hear all the petrol generators start up. After the second day i found my throat started to get quite sore and i put it down to the air pollution.
