RE: Pashupatinath Temple In Kathmandu
Okay, so the temple, is the tallest building in the image with the bronze looking roof and spire? If I'm right, it's interesting how it's surrounded by other buildings. Is that all part of the temple complex, too, or just some sort of urban growth around it?
I'm not that familiar with different kinds of temples. The ones I've been to, both ancient and modern, are generally standalone, with grounds around them, so the temple itself stands out, and I think, to give it some solitude, or maybe even peace and quiet.
At any rate, very interesting and I like the sideways photo, too. Kathmandu is a very intriguing place.
The other buildings are all part of the temple complex too @glenalbrethsen.
I don't like the sideways photo. No idea why that happened. 😢
Kathmandu is indeed an intriguing place although I've heard it's been "cleaned" up since I was there and even more touristy. I'd love to go back but wouldn't want to be disappointed if it's been "sanitised".
Nepal is definitely worth a visit though. You should save your pennies! 😁
How many pennies would you say I need? About 20,000? :) Maybe a little more? My wife would probably want to come with me.
I have absolutely no idea @glenalbrethsen. 😂
It was a long time ago I went and I can't remember how much it cost me. I wasn't really counting as it was a 'trip of a lifetime' sort of deal. Prices are pretty cheap once you get there though.
I booked a couple of hotels before I left and then found the others once I was there. The latter was a lot cheaper.
And you would definitely want to take your wife. I went alone but I know John would have loved it as much as I did.
Welcome to Nepal

Hey, @jindabaad2.
Well, thank you. :) I haven't been yet, and I don't think I'll make it next year, but every time Gillian puts up photos of Nepal, I find them very intriguing.
One of these days, maybe. There's so many places to go and see and so little time and resources to do it with. I guess I could just runaway and become a world travel and work my around to different places.
Maybe at 25. Since I'm almost 53, I'm just tired thinking about the possibility. :)
