Nepal Travel Photos


Index of Nepal

Nepal is very interesting because of the wide variety of religious worship within the small geographically confined area of the Kathmundu valley. Because Nepal has long been the doorway between China and India it has amalgamated and incorporated both dominate cultures to form their own unique religious ceremonies and been able to maintain its independence from both. Here you can find Hinduism that has merged with Confucianism and Tibet war gods have been accepted as guardians of Buddhism. Here you will find a few photos that illustrate these points.
