To Durbar Square
After visiting Swayambhunath, we bought fruit (apple + banana) at a bazaar nearby, and fixed the N-Cell value-stored phone card. There were quite a lot of taxi parked and we were lucky to get a good bargain, NPR 200 to go to Durbar Square.
Upon arrival, we got the time to wander around. All the buildings are brick colored. Seems like we were at Manu Tole.
We walked along Kohiti

Bhimsen Temple
The Newari deity Bhimsen is said to watch over traders and artisans, so it's quite appropriate that the ground floor of this well-kept temple should be devoted to shop stalls. An image of Bhimsen used to be carried to Lhasa in Tibet every 12 years to protect those vital trade routes, until the route was closed by the flight of the Dalai Lama in 1959. Tourists are not allowed inside the temple, which is fronted by a brass lion on a pedestal, ducking under the electric wires.
