Patan is a Newari town separated from Kathmandu by the Bagmati River. These days there is a public transport strike in the country so we are not able to use any bus or taxi to go around. Therefore, we decided to go to Patan by foot, at 5km from the capital. As all the Newari towns, it is plenty of little squares, courtyards, alleys and temples with a main central square known as Durbar Square.
The doors of the porches are made to Nepalese size. You can't imagine how short they are. We have to even duck to go through!
We were walking around for a few hours around the village and, of course, we tried its momos!!! These ones were stuffed with buffalo meat... and a plate of momos for 25 cents!! yummy!!
In the evening we met Cora for dinner, a german girl who is doing volunteering work in a hospital in Kathmandu. After a nice meal we went to bed... so tired!!
