Some more photos of Indrachowk and the old residential/market district. This is a fun, and very colourful, part of town to explore. However, I wouldn't recommend going when we did, which is the Nepali new year. New Year celebrations in Nepal seem to consist of people hanging out of their windows and dropping colored water and eggs on the passersby below. It's a bit like Songkran in Thailand, only more annoying. Once you've made it through the throngs of shoppers and dodged the aerial assault from New Year celebrants, you'll eventually get to Thamel, Kathmandu's backpacker haven.
