Pictures From Kathmandu
Hi everyone,
In this blog, I have compiled pictures from different places in Kathmandu. To all my friends from RYI who must be missing Kathmandu, I hope these pictures gives you a sense of solace at this difficult time of pandemic and online learning.
Most of these pictures are from my instagram which I took over the years.
For the series of Boudha Stupa before and after the 2015 earthquake, I requested my friends to send in pictures. I hope you will enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed going to these places, taking them and compiling it for the blog.
