ipernity: Nepal from different visits by Wolfgang

My first attempt to visit Nepal was in 1971 when East Pakistan got an independed nation called Bangladesh. Hundred thousands refugees tried to escape over the borders to India and Nepal that the nepalese government closed the borders for all foreigners to enter. My first impression about Nepal was covered with sad experiences made in that war between India and Pakistan.
1978 I came back to Nepal and found my pleasure, discovering Kathmandu, the valley and trecking to some places in nepalese Himalaya. All my memory I made in this mountain country awake my wanderlust to return as much as my time (and my budged) allowed a visit again, so I trecked to the Annapurna base camp, to Muktinath, to the Langtang Himal and to the inclosed kingdom Mustang and its capital.
In May 2005 I came to Nepal from the northern side from Tibet and passed the border to Nepal in Kodari. It was the most chaotic border I've ever had to pass and without giving any Backshish I still would wait to pass until now.
Here I post my photos I shot last time when I saw Nepal and Kathmandu under my eyes and looked behind the attractions to see the everyday life from the nepalese people.
