Day 1 and 2: Immerse yourself in the capital of Nepal - 17,600 steps through a vibrant city

ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ: 17.03.2024

This city welcomes us this morning with an extremely lively atmosphere and it quickly becomes clear: it has great potential for a sensory overload for rural Upper Bavarians. This seemingly chaotic, but also structured and rule-free city (there don't seem to be any traffic lights in this city of over a million people) takes more than getting used to for us Western Europeans, who like to over-regulate everything.

Countless motorcycles that weave their way between cars and pedestrians like ants on the sticky, greasy asphalt and whose horns put a huge strain on the auditory nerve, as well as curbs that are sometimes 60 cm above street level and power cables hanging down to head height, require the utmost concentration when it comes to accident prevention.

In the melting pot of cultures, alternating between loud, busy bazaars and idyllic oases in neatly landscaped gardens as well as observing faith healers and preachers, we get to know the ambivalence of this city in an impressive way.

A mixture of smog paired with the smells of oriental spices and fragrant scents puts a strain on us olfactorily, but also arouses curiosity to delve further into this pulsating city.

A typical Nepalese meal (Thakali for the equivalent of 4 euros) and getting to know the basic principles of Buddhism while visiting a mandala studio (possibly Tourifalle!:-)) round off our sensory impressions of this city on this day.
