An amazing place – only a 4-hour flight from Guangzhou, but decades behind China.  We arrived prepared for Nepal’s summer monsoon season but returned with sun burns because of the unusually beautiful weather in July.

We did all of the touristy things like visiting temples and shrines, Thamel district of bars & shops, and trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas.  Four days was about perfect for the full Kathmandu experience – including a visit to a crematorium and two trips to the Purple Haze rock club.

Once again, my go-to lens for this series of photographs was Fuji’s 14mm f2.8.  For a few shots I used the 56mm, but when I shoot on the streets I prefer the ultra wide angle lens.
