The contrast between Nepali cities Kathmandu en Pokhara is immense. Kathmandu is a chaos of buses, cars, motorbikes, riksja's and pedestrians. Pokhara is a place where people come to relax near the lake with a spectacular view of the Annapurna mountain range.

During the election campaigns there are several strikes, called Bandh, in Nepal. The Bandh's can effect cities, districts or even the nation. During larger Bandh's streets turn into play fields and life becomes very much outdoor.
