Places to See Before You Die: Kathmandu, Nepal

If you are religious, the feeling might not be new for you, but if you never cared about Gods much, Kathmandu is the place where you will start to believe that they just might exist!

The experience starts long before you arrive to the airport: you fly above the mist of clouds which looks like an ocean from an other world. Then, the peaks of Himalaya appear in front of your eyes! They look like islands floating on the mist. It is hard to believe what you see: those peaks should not be here at all, there should be nothing this high in the air! But they are there and you feel that you arrived to a different planet.

Then the clouds open up and you descend to a sunny, green wally in Kathmandu. You stand in the clean, cold air gaze at the humongous mountains all around and you feel that you arrived to a sacred place. You walk on the streets and feel that this city has always been here and will remain here until eternity: this is the city of the Gods. It is hard to describe the feeling by words, so let me show you some photos, I hope they will speak for themselves!
