Answer 4

Kathmandu city is the capital of Nepal with a population of 1.5 million inhabitants counting the suburban area.

The city is a fascinating melange of old heritage and modern buildings mixing an astonishing beauty of some sites with an appalling poverty.

It  means “square house of wood”. It has also a 1000 years old house that still stands in Durbar Square. The day starts with prayers in the temples and farmers bringing their fresh fruit and vegetables to the local markets in huge baskets.

Today Kathmandu suffers from overcrowding, severe pollution and traffic congestion.

Now Kathmandu is grid locked with cars, Tata trucks, buses, motorcycles, three wheelers and rickshaws blowing dust all over you.

Kathmandu is full of colour, smell and noise. It is an exciting and vibrant city. W. Kirkpatrick wrote in 1811 “There are nearly as many temples as houses, and as many idols as inhabitants” . The people follow two main religions: Buddhism and Hinduism. The two main sights for Buddhists are Boudhanath and Swayambhunath. The main temples for Hindus are Pashupatinath (cremation site) in Kathmandu and Changu Nayaran near Bhaktapur.

I love this mixture of religions, everybody lives in harmony and peace. The city is also full of small temples dedicated to many Hindu Gods as well as smaller Buddhist stupas with all kind of architecture.
