âThe $10 picture,â I had my pocket picked while taking this picture passing through an incredibly crowded intersection in Kathmandu. I only had about $10 worth of rupies in it since I never keep anything I donât mind losing in my wallet, but I should have known better. It was an obvious place for pickpockets to hang out. Iâm not sure the picture was worth $10 though. Being in a Hindu country I suppose its karma for all the entry fees Iâve skipped out on, but Iâm still ahead, so I guess I better keep an eye on my stuff.

Kathmandu and the surrounding towns and temples in the valley are great place to wander around and take a few photos. Here are a few I took during my stay there.
