There are three royal cities in the Kathmandu valley: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. Today, I took the bike to visit the latter two.
The old royal city is situated around the Durbar Square with temples, royal palaces and other buildings. Mostly known is "The Museum behind the Golden Door" that is one of Asia's finest museums explaining the history of all the major religions and their gods & goddesses as well as
showcasing royal items.

"Instead of cars carrying workers, Nepal has workers carrying cars on the rocky, hilly trails of the country." So this Mercedes-Benz from Germany was transported to Kathmandu in 1948.
