Adventures of a NeverJetLagged Mom and her daughter
Faces of Nepal
Nepal is a beautiful country! Stunning mountains, heritage temples, bustling streets, culturally rich and humble, thrifty, warm people.
But as in most countries, it is the people of Nepal that formed an important highlight of our visit – they were a humble, thrifty & a warm lot. We felt so welcomed and totally ‘at home’ when we visited Kathmandu with our (then) 1 year old daughter.
Here is a photo essay of pictures taken in and around Hanumandhoka Durbar Square, Kathmandu – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I loved this lady selling neckpieces – her smile & enthusiasm was infectious as she happily posed for a pic
This tea seller diligently made us a piping hot cup of tea
This was a classic ‘old meets new’ scene – a traditionally dressed woman selling confectionery in a cane basket in branded jars striking a conversation on her cellphone

As a HUGE fan, I was thrilled that he was staying at our hotel and I got a chance to say hello to him!
