About the bustling streets of
Kathmandu

4. When it comes to Kathmandu, you cannot say
No to Walking around the streets and corners
here. Every street in Kathmandu here with
corners has its own history, culture, and
meaning to display. The inner town which is also
an old city is just a few kilometers, where you
will see different markets, temples, stupas,
narrow alleys and not to mention people from
various parts of the country. Ex-The streets of

5. More about the streets
The streets of Kathmandu are a concoction of
bitter and sweet, tourists and locals, of
happiness and sadness, smells of exhaust and
of spices, and of a society that is making its
best to move on from the difficulties that the
Earthquake of 2015 has brought on.

7. Pashupatinath Temple
Pashupatinath Temple is one of the most sacred and
largest Hindu temples of Nepal which is dedicated to Lord
Shiva. It is located on both banks of Bagmati River on the
eastern outskirts of Kathmandu. The temple serves as the
seat of Nepal’s national deity, Lord Pashupatinath. The
two storied pagoda style temple has a gilded roof, four
sides covered in silver, and wood carvings of the finest
quality. The inner sanctum has a Shiva lingam and outside
sits the largest statue of Nandi the bull, the vehicle of
Shiva. Only Hindus are allowed inside the gates of the
main temple and non-Hindus are strictly prohibited to
entering the main temple.

8. Baudhanath Stupa
Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal which
was probably built during the 14th century after the Mughal
invasions. Following the Chinese invasion in 1959, many
Tibetans came to this stupa which today has become one of
the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. It remains
a significant place of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and
Nepalis. Located in the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu,
Boudhanath looks like a giant mandala. One can roam
around to buy local Tibetan stuff from the vendors around
the stupa. Surrounding Boudhanath Stupa are narrow
streets which are lined with colorful homes and beautiful
Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.

Tastiest foods found in Nepal

10. Marzipan
Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar, honey,
and almond meal (ground almonds), sometimes augmented
with almond oil or extract.
It is often made into sweets; common uses are chocolate-
covered marzipan and small marzipan imitations of fruits and
vegetables. It can also be used in biscuits or rolled into thin
sheets and glazed for icing cakes, primarily birthday cakes,
wedding cakes and Christmas cakes. Marzipan paste may also
be used as a baking ingredient, as in stollen or banket. In some
countries, it is shaped into small figures of animals as a
traditional treat for New Year's Day or Christmas

11. Roasted Corn(Bhutta)
Oven-roasted corn on the cob is buttery, juicy,
crunchy, and perfectly charred on the outside
without a grill. Which means you can enjoy this
delicious “grilled” vegetable all year round!
Plus, it’s quick and easy to make with a handful of
ingredients and minimal prep! So when it’s
inconvenient to grill or boil your sweet ears of corn,
slather on some homemade garlic butter and roast
them instead for perfectly cooked corn every single
time.

12. Momos
Momo is a type of steamed dumpling with some form of
filling, most commonly chicken. They are bite-size
dumplings made with a spoonful of stuffing wrapped in
dough. Usually steamed, though they are sometimes
fried or steam-fried. The dish has spread to China,
Nepal and India. It has become a delicacy in Nepal and
Tibetan communities in Bhutan, as well as in people of
the Indian regions of Darjeeling, Ladakh, Sikkim,
Assam, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal
Pradesh.

13. About Flutes

The poet’s affection with music
played by flutes

14. Flutes
The flute is a family of classical musical instruments in the
woodwind group. Like all woodwinds, flutes are
aerophones, meaning they make sound by vibrating a
column of air. However, unlike woodwind instruments with
reeds, a flute is a reedless wind instrument that produces
its sound from the flow of air across an opening.
According to the instrument, flutes are categorized as
edge-blown aerophones. A musician who plays the flute is
called a flautist or flautist. The bamboo flute is an
important instrument in Indian classical music and
developed independently of the Western flute. The Hindu
God Lord Krishna is traditionally considered a master of
the bamboo flute.
