And the wildest dreams of Kew are the facts of Khatmandhu...
Kathmandu, the semi-mythical city which Kipling never set eyes on, now sprawls unrestrained across the once-bucolic valley, yet much remains of the magic kingdom: the great stupas and the implacable faiths - intertwined, in peculiarly Nepalese fashion - of Buddhist and Hindu believers; the magnificent legacies of the three historic city-states of the Kathmandu Valley. Beyond all this lies the countless villages, the terraced slopes and towering above them all, those impossibly perfect snow-capped peaks.
Images of the Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara in March 2011 and October 2014. Kirtipur is an historic small town perched on a ridge overlooking the Valley. These pics were taken with Nikon D300 using RAW format, and are available for licensing.
