Nepal Photo Gallery

So, on the North, you have the highest peaks in the World, keeping your admiration and inspiration always at their top! By experience, the proximity to these gigantics makes you constantly breathless and surely more humble…
Then, on the lowlands of the South – the Terai- you discover a wide Savannah and an exciting animal fauna.  The place for Wildlife Photography.
And the Water! Its presence is everywhere in the country: glaciers, sources, rivers, you are constantly surrounded by water, like a peaceful flow calming your mind. Actually, Nepal holds the biggest hydraulic power in the whole world, though mainly owned and used by India followed by China.
Nature there is out of limits and out of imagination. To be seen, touched, felt, and experienced at least once in a lifetime…

Nepal has a fascinating culture, mix of the Indian and the Tibetan one. You see it in the food, the clothes, the music, the Arts and the Faith. A real anima.
Indeed, Nepal is strongly characterised by an omnipresent Spiritual Life that totally gives the tempo to the Day, to the Hindu population as well as to the Buddhist one. Actually, the two cultures and “religions” coexist quite well alongside and it is even common to see people including elements of both Believes in their prayers and devotional routine. Get out early at dawn and you will find Kathmandu’s streets already in activity, busy around the temples. Flowers and incenses sellers provide the tools to honour the Gods and obtain their favours, as people believe there. The morning processions of devotees, peaceful though frenetic, are paced by the never-ending sounds of bells and mantras spread in the air. All this lively fervour and unconditional faith in people’s lives is quite intriguing and surely get the travellers to reflect on their own beliefs and Heart’s aspirations.

Cityscapes & Street Photography

Full of beautiful Hindu and Buddhist temples, where people gather all along the day to chat, sell goods or relax, the streets have always some really interesting and exotic backgrounds. And like the rest of Asia mainly, you can observe the daily life happening there, openly in the streets. From the peanut seller to the knives sharpener, from the bird seeds seller to the butcher…you see mostly everything taking place in the streets, getting you an easy but fascinating Street Photography, full of opportunities.
The Valley of Kathmandu is an absolute must for a general Nepal Travel Photography. For the good reason that, in a rather small area, it sums up all the best that one would like to see in a collection of Nepal photos: views on the surrounding mountains, impressive temples, distinctive red-brick & wood Newari style architecture, lively and bustling life activity and open people.
