When	The walk
Saturdays, 06:00	NPR 2,500. Two hours from the steps of Patan Durbar Square through the lanes behind it, ending with tea. Eight people at most.
First Sunday, Dec to Feb, 05:30	NPR 3,500 with the bus back. The fog walk in Bhaktapur, from Taumadhi Square, in the slowest light of the year.
Any morning	NPR 9,000. A private walk for one to four people, at the hour and in the lanes you choose.

Pigeons take off from the brick paving in front of a temple at dawn

Niraj kept stopping a few seconds before the light changed. Two hours, four lanes, and I came home with the best pictures I have made in Nepal.
