We walked through narrow, busy streets to get to Durbar Square, the centre of old Kathmandu. The name refers to the fact that many of these ancient buildings are built from wood. There are amazing wood carvings all around.
We also visited the Kumari, the living goddess, and got to see her briefly (no photos allowed).

The Hilton Boys, about to set off from Tibet Lodge
The busy streets of Kathmandu - amazingly, no-one got lost.
You can buy anything... many of the shops are like this, medieval looking holes in the walls of the streets.
Carving at the house of the Kumari, the living goddess. There are also amazing terracotta tiles, each unique, around the base of the courtyard where we waited for our sighting of her.
17th Century buildings. One quite big temple was made from only one tree.
Namaste! Practising greeting the Kumari.
Thabo, high up on a temple structure, looking over Durbar Square
The Clearys, enjoying the view over the square. It is quite peaceful up here, no one trying to sell trinkets and stuff.
Sadhus - sort of priests, making a living out of looking cool.
Nonjabulo - the locals like her braids!
