Strolling Around The Local Markets of Kathmandu!

in #photography7 years ago

So, I spent today with my mom shopping for the upcoming festival, DIWALI!! (Also known as the festival of lights) It was so freakin' crowded but I am not gonna lie, I enjoyed it too :P

Anyway, I wanted to show you guys how the markets look here in Kathmandu, especially during this time of the year and despite the crazy traffic, managed to get some shots. Hope you enjoy them :)

Okay this is the shop that I always go to when I am in the city. ( More like a tradition for me :P) It contains so many cool stuff made from handmade Nepali paper. I nearly bought one piece from each variety today!

Finally, we called it a day as we were completely exhausted. But every year this is the time I await, to see these places come to life! Hope you guys enjoyed them too. Cheers!

Till then..
