UNESCO - Kathmandu Valley, Nepal


This fantastic view of Kathmandu Valley was sent to me some years ago by Ash while on his travels through Asia. I suppose this may and may not be an Unesco card, as it doesn't show the actual cultural sites which it is famous for...
But here is a recent postcard that I have received via vacation RR!


One of the aforementioned cultural sites is Swayambhunath Stupa, with Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on, and underneath a symbol of unity. It is the oldest Buddhist monument in the valley and a part of a religious ensemble. Many thanks to karas, and the stamp and cancellation are also great! (i've never received last postcard sent to me from nepal so this made me that extra bit happy..!)
