I thought I would take some pictures to give an insight of the traffic in Kathmandu.
The small roads are shared with pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes, small taxi's, trucks and buses. The roads are often only about one lane wide, and the standard way of indicating to pass, turn, or if someone is getting close, is to honk the horn several times. I wonder if the painful blasts could be made into a nice melody. Unlikely as it would be ignored.
The photos are from our taxi trip from Thamel, the tourist district (where I had no end of trouble trying to buy gloves that would actually fit my massive hands) back to the office in Imadol. We travelled down tight laneways to the overused ring road which circles Kathmandu.
