Katmandu : in the shade of the pagodas
The Kingdom of Nepal has become the Republic of Nepal, yet its capital Kathmandu seems unchanged since the time of the Malla kings.In the 1960’s, the French writer Barjavel made famous the « road to Katmandu », a blind pursuit or the road to ruin of young people for whom the terminus was often the Nepalese capital. The 1980’s saw the young hippies supplanted by troops of trekkers who only passed through Katmandu before heading off to sweaton the slopes of Mount Everest or Annapurna. Since then, UNESCO has classed the whole of the Katmandu Valley as a World Heritage site.
