I had a couple days in Kathmandu before Chitwan, a couple nights after that before the Himalayas and a few days in Kathmandu after the Himalayas.  I visited the Boudha Nath twice, Pashupati cremation grounds twice, Swayambhu  Nath stupa (Monkey Temple) twice and Durbar Square.  Kathmandu is an overcrowded polluted city that will challenge your thoughts on life and overwhelm your senses.  Enough description, let’s get to the pictures.
