| View over the center of Kathmandu from Swayambunath. On the left the Royal Palace and the old city with the pagodas in the middle. On the right Bhimsen Tower, where the Main Post Office is located. Most travellers paid a daily visit there to look for poste restante mail. No internet in those days! Click here, if you want to see the same view 22 years later. Many new buildings and a lot of smog. |
