Njengomfoti osebenza eNepal, andizange ndiphelelwe yindawo yokufota kwaye nasemva kweminyaka emininzi ndifota iNepal ngalo lonke ixesha ndijika ikona kubonakala ngathi kukho omnye umbono olindele ukubanjwa. Zininzi kakhulu ii-nooks kunye ne-crannies ezilindele ukufunyanwa kwiindawo ezinje ngedolophu elikomkhulu laseKathmandu apho ukukhula okungalindelekanga, kunye nokukhula okungacwangciswanga, kudale umgaqo wendlela wezitalato. Ke ngoko biza iibhetri zakho, fomatha amakhadi akho ekhamera kwaye ulungele abafoti bezitalato iphupha lizaliseka eNepal.

Ukulandela incoko yemizuzu emihlanu umnini-venkile wayivala ivenkile, wabeka undwendwe olundwendweleyo ngasemva kwisithuthuthu sakhe wasisa emnyango wethu wangaphambili. Olo luhlobo lokubuka iindwendwe oluza kulifumana eNepal. Yindawo apho abantu benganiki nje umkhombandlela, baya kukuhamba buqu ukuya kwindawo oya kuyo.
Phakathi kwamathuba amaninzi okufota kwidolophu elikomkhulu laseKathmandu qiniseka ukutyelela i-Asan Market, apho iivenkile zalapha, iSwayambhunath edla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi "monkey temple," iBoudha Stupa, isitampu sodumo esakhiwe kwinkulungwane ye-14 kwaye saboniswa kwiintengiso ezininzi zokhenketho. yeNepal, kunye nePashupati, igama eliqhelekileyo lePashupatinath Temple, enye yeetempile ezibaluleke kakhulu zamaHindu eMzantsi Asia.

I-Kathmandu sisixeko esigcwele inkcubeko kunye nobuhle ngokungafaniyo nayiphi na enye indawo eMhlabeni kwaye kukho amathuba angenamda okufota apho, kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo kuyo yonke iNepal ukusuka kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ze-Everest ukuya eTerai, kumathafa aseNepal apho ikhoyo indawo kaBuddha.
Omnye umfoti wathi ngokufotwa kwezitrato eNepal "yayipholile" kwaye leyo yinkcazo efanelekileyo yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo ezishiyekileyo eMhlabeni.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Among the many photographic opportunities in the capital city of Kathmandu be sure to visit Asan Market, where the locals shop, Swayambhunath which is commonly called “monkey temple,” Boudha Stupa, the iconic stupa built in the 14 century and featured on many tourism advertisements for Nepal, and of course Pashupati, the common name for Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most important Hindu Temples in South Asia.
- Street photography is all about putting shoe leather down and walking the beat, but, while I did mention the streets can quickly turn into a maze, there's no need for concern and you can stride forth with confidence as the vast majority of people in Nepal consider your well-being to be a personal obligation, even if they just met you.
- Around some of the temples the holy men known as Sadhu (sometimes Saadhu) may ask for a payment of 100 rupees, the equivalent of a US dollar to pose for you but regular people you may meet on the street probably will not ask you for anything.
