Hi dear Hive community!
Our Wednesday walk was not so long this time. We are staying with our friends in Lalipur, Kathmandu. Since this area is quiet calm, we are able to walk around and explore this district.
Firstly, we walked the streets and small side macadam streets. On the way we passed many small shops offering essential food and lots of crisps, and repairing shops for motorbikes.
After around half an hour of walking through the city and observing the houses and people, we were going more and more to the outskirts where were rice fields and more land than houses. It was more peacful and this was really suiting for us. The air quality is uncomfortable to the one in the mountains, on top of that it is so much dust from macadam roads that people from covid on, just keep using face mask to avoid breathing in the polluted air.
Next to the river on a big grass field was standing the temple and some other building fitting together with it. The style of the temple is similar to the old temples found in Dalbar square or Gorkha. We looked around it, see the status and god the temple was dedicated to and move forward to the interesting looking bridge nearby.
The big bridges in Nepal are mostly made as suspension bridges, which are very photogenic. This type of bridges are good for very good distances. During our travel we saw many of them. Underneath it goes a river, which is so full of all kind of trash and plastic. There you can see many dogs and birds feasting on them in a hope to find some food. As well the toilet residuals goes there, so the smell while walking on the bridge is horrible. We could not spend more time there, other tourist coming there didnt mind the smell and the ugly view on the trash.
We were sad to witness this still happening in 2024! People cannot just throw trash everywhere where they feel like it. Maybe 10 years ago you would understand this more, as they were living without plastic, and only throwing away organic trash. But still, nothing has changed even though everyone has tiktok and social media.
How are you dear friend @thefootprint good afternoon
You walked through very beautiful places even though it wasn't a long walk.
Beautiful photographs, I appreciate you letting us know.
Have a beautiful afternoon
Hello @jlufer, we are doing good! We just reached new destination, new country 🙏
How are you doing?
Thank you! It's really nice area and unique experience 🙃 Maybe this post was not the kindest, as we pointed out some things that we don't like. But like this is with everything, always pluses and minuses.
And we say once again, we love Nepal and we really recommend to visit. 🇳🇵
Wish you a nice day!
thanks for sharing your walk such a beautiful and interesting area
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day
As always it's nice to participate even with the smaller walks 😁
Wish you a great day!
👍🙂👍
It's sad to hear that people in the Himalayas don't care at all, when it comes to non-organic trash :/
Yes, seeing this it's really not making you happy. It would be completly different experience, maybe even people could refresh there or hang out by the nice river bank 🤔🙃
But besides that, Nepal and people are really great and warm 👌🙏
