NEPAL, KATHMANDU: SOUVENIR MARKET
riprese di Marco Petruzzelli
tvreporter.it
Nepal, Kathmandu: è la più grande città del Paese, con una popolazione di circa 950.000 abitanti nella sola area urbana propriamente detta (stima 2007). Nell'intera area metropolitana, che comprende anche le conurbate città di Patan, Bhadgaon, Thimi ecc..., supera i due milioni di abitanti (stima 2007).
Si trova nell'omonima valle del Nepal centrale, ed è lambita dai fiumi Bagmati e Vishnumati. Quest'ultimo confluisce nel primo insieme a numerosi altri torrenti che drenano la valle. Questi due fiumi ne delimitano sostanzialmente l'area urbana propriamente detta: il secondo la lambisce ad ovest, mentre il primo, fiume sacro agli hindu, la delimita ad est ed a sud, separandola dalla contigua città di Patan. L'area urbana è caratterizzata da una morfologia che presenta numerose gibbosità corrispondenti alle varie colline che separano le vallate dei numerosi corsi d'acqua che defluiscono nel Bagmati prima che questo entri nella celebre Gola di Chobar.
Il centro urbano della città presenta un nucleo storico risalente perlopiù al XVII secolo (tarda epoca Malla), che si sviluppa nell'intorno della celeberrima Durbar Square, ricca di templi induisti. Numerosi altri templi sorgono isolati gli uni dagli altri presso molti incroci stradali (nepalese: chowk), sicché nella città si concentrano, come del resto nell'intera valle, centinaia di templi hindu; fra questi il più noto è quello di Pashupatinath, sulle rive del sacro fiume Bagmati nella cui vasta area si trovano, per lo più allineate sulla riva destra del corso d'acqua, anche numerosi plinti lapidei atti alle pire per la cremazione dei cadaveri. Vi sono anche numerosi luoghi sacri buddhisti come quello celebre di Swayambhunat (noto anche come il Tempio delle Scimmie), posto su una collina ad ovest della città; e quello di Bodnath nella periferia orientale a cui fa capo una consistente comunità tibetana sfuggita alle persecuzioni cinesi. Non è un caso dunque che in questi luoghi vi sia la maggiore concentrazione di edifici a carattere religioso del pianeta. Molti degli edifici del centro storico sono stati in passato danneggiati dai terremoti, e più recentemente dall'inquinamento.
Nella stessa parte della città si trova anche un'estesa spianata erbosa in parte attrezzata a parco, con zone per attività sportive. Quest'area costituisce un continuum urbano con quella rettangolare del Palazzo Reale e dei suoi parchi, recintata da alte mura e cancellate.
Nell'espansione edilizia, la città ha inglobato caoticamente villaggi e piccoli agglomerati vicini, raggiungendo e superando le rive dei sopracitati fiumi fino a unirsi completamente con Patan, posta a sud del Bagmati ed unita a Kathmandu da un grande ponte.
Appena a nord del centro storico e senza soluzione di continuità con esso, a partire dagli anni ottanta del XX secolo si è sviluppato, anche in questo caso abbastanza caoticamente, il quartiere turistico di Thamel, caratterizzato da anguste stradine trafficatissime di veicoli a pedali, a motore e pedoni, nel quale si trovano centinaia di alberghi, guest houses, ristoranti, bazar, negozi per lo più ad uso dei turisti occidentali che affollano questa parte della città sia per visitarne l'immenso patrimonio monumentale, sia per organizzare viaggi nelle altre zone del Nepal a scopo di trekking, rafting sui fiumi o alpinismo.
Il tessuto urbano della città è caratterizzato pertanto da un disordine urbanistico notevole, indice anche di una crescita urbana e demografica tumultuosa: si stima che la popolazione dell'area metropolitana stia crescendo al ritmo di oltre 150.000 persone all'anno. Basti osservare ad esempio che a Kathmandu le strade, tranne poche eccezioni riguardo alle arterie principali, non hanno una denominazione, motivo per cui non esistono indirizzi ma ci si orienta, ad esempio, col riferimento dei chowk principali: Indra Chowk, Asan Tole, Thaiti Tole, Chhetrapati e tanti altri sono il riferimento urbano per la miriade di esercizi commerciali, abitazioni, alberghi e ristoranti che si trovano nel loro intorno, nel raggio di 100 o 200 m a seconda dei casi.
Nella zona orientale della città, oltre il corso del Bagmati, sorge l'aeroporto di Tribhuvan che, seppure sia l'unico del Nepal a carattere internazionale (collegamenti diretti con l'India, col Medio ed Estremo Oriente, ma anche con qualche città dell'Europa), si caratterizza per un modesto traffico passeggeri: meno di 500.000 passeggeri/anno.
Il centro storico è stato inserito dall'UNESCO nella lista dei Patrimoni dell'umanità.

Nepal Knife Shop: $300 Kukri ????????
■ NEPAL, KATHMANDU: I spent today wandering around Kathmandu's many markets looking for unique shops to buy Nepalese souvenirs from. To be honest I didn't find many stores that piqued my interest. But one stood out, the Ghurka knife shop selling Kukris in the centre of Kathmandu.
Kukris come in many shapes and sizes. Some are ceremonial. Others are used for hunting and in combat. This shop had it all so I felt compelled to investigate and make a purchase.

Kathmandu City Guide | Nepal Travel Series Transcript:
Well good morning. It is our first full day in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं). We are up bright and early. Sometimes it’s nice to be surprised by a destination, so we arrived in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं) without a whole lot of prior research. We knew we wanted to see the temples and palaces around Durbar Square (Basantapur Darbar Kshetra), but that was about it. We were up early, but Kathmandu (काठमाडौं) was buzzing. Scooters were racing to work, vendors were setting up their fresh produce, and construction work was underway.
Alright, so next up we are in Indrachok (इन्द्रचोक) It is a market area and yeah very lively. We're at the Garden of Dreams. Garden of Dreams (स्वप्न बगैंचा) and there is a beautiful little cafe & restaurant here. So we're just relaxing. These gardens are partly funded by the Austrian government. It is momo (饃饃) time. So we ordered vegetable momo today.
It is day 2 in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं) and today's excursion is to the Monkey Temple. The name is Swayambhunath (स्वयम्भू स्तूप).
We just finished visiting the Monkey Temple. We're riding a taxi to visit Pashupatinath Temple (पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिर) which is one of the more popular ones here in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं).
This next temple is a sacred Hindu site (पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिर) where many believers choose to be cremated. According to the Nepalese Hindu tradition, the body must be dipped three times into the Bagmati River in order to break the reincarnation cycle.
So today is our last day in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं) and we've been staying in the neighborhood of Thamel. It is kind of like the touristy area. They have a lot of shops where you can pick-up souvenirs and like little trinkets to take back home. So we're going to do a bit of shopping.
Today we are having Dal Bhat (दालभात). We've been eating Dal Bhat (ডাল ভাত) very very often. So much so Sam has declared it his favorite dish.
Lastly in Kathmandu (काठमाडौं), we went in search of a rooftop terrace to enjoy a drink & watch the sunset with colourful prayer flags blowing in the wind.
This is part of our Travel in Nepal video series showcasing Nepali food, Nepali culture and Nepali cuisine.

Nepali souvenirs
Lorelei tells us about some of the souvenirs one can pick up around Kathmandu - check out some of the regional specialties!
Bhaktapur - Nepal | JOEJOURNEYS
Bhaktapur is an ancient city and is renowned for its elegant art, fabulous culture, colorful festivals, traditional dances and indigenous lifestyle of Newari community.
Bhaktapur is known variously as City of Culture, Living Heritage, Nepal’s Cultural Gem, An open museum and a City of Devotees.
It is just 12 kilometers east of Kathmandu, but gives the feeling of prehistoric times given the ambiance of traditional homes, lifestyles and environment. The conch shaped historic city is spreading over just an area of 6.88 square kilometer at 1,401 meter altitude. The city was founded in 12th century by King Anand Dev Malla. Bhaktapur was the capital city of the Greater Malla Kingdom in the Kathmandu Valley till the 15th century AD. The many of Bhaktapur‘s greatest monuments were built by the then Malla rulers.
Bhaktapur has more temples per square foot than Patan or Kathmandu and is far enough out of town to keep the crowds away. Unfortunately, the city has been severely damaged by the 7.9 Magnitude Earthquake on 25th of April, 2015 whose epicenter was about 90 kms NW of Bhaktapur. Many buildings and historical temples, including some in the Bhaktapur Durbar Square collapsed.

Impressions of Thamel, Kathmandu, 2015
A brief look at the goings-on in Thamel (pronounced Tar-Mel), which is the main thoroughfare in Kathmandu. It is very touristy but also very popular with the locals, with shops and market stalls as well as the odd restaurant scattered about the area. However, as this is Nepal, it is very dirty and dusty, and if the traffic doesn't kill you, then the pollution certainly will!

Der Durbar Square, eine der Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt, liegt vor dem alten Königspalast Kathmandus, dem Hanuman Dhoka mit seinen zahlreichen Tempeln und Pagoden.
Eindrucksvoll erhebt sich der weiße Rundkörper des Stupa - auch „Mutterleib(„Garbha) genannt. An ihrem höchsten Punkt thront ein Prunkschirm, Sinnbild des höchsten Zieles: das Nirvana.
Die lange, bewegte Geschichte von Nepal spiegelt sich ebenso in den Tempeln und Palästen der benachbarten Königsstädte Patan und Bhaktapur wider.
Buchstäblich herausragend: Die Stupa von Bodnath, eines der wichtigsten Heiligtümer des Buddhismus im Land.

Kathmandu e Bhaktapur: Le Meraviglie del Nepal
Durbar Square era uno dei luoghi più belli Kathmandu sede dell'ex palazzo reale, queste immagini risalgono a prima del terremoto del 2015 a testimoniarne la bellezza. Nella seconda parte vi porto a Bhaktapur una città della valle di Kathmandu che era un museo a cielo aperto, completamente ricostruita e restaurata negli anni '70 grazie ai fondi provenienti dalla Germania è diventata Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Unesco, anche Bhaktapur è stata gravemente danneggiata dal terremoto, la mia speranza è che il Nepal ritrovi il suo antico splendore!
