The Barahi Mandir, Pokhara, Nepal

Barahi Mandir

The Phewa Lake is the most beautiful attraction of Pokhara city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Barahi Mandir is the crown of Phewa Lake. A boat trip to Barahi Mandhir is certainly an excellent experience.

Boats to hire

Heading to Barahi Mandir

Thanks to Sunil Shresta, I enjoyed the boat trip by hiring and rowing a boat in our own, though we went in awkward directions at the beginning :-).

Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, Thailand

The Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, is a beautiful structure for photographers to enjoy both indoor and outdoor photography. This photo shows the control tower of the airport during an evening dusk time.

Sunset over Bangkok, Thailand

Sunsets give beautiful settings for photography whenever I get unhindered views. I captured this special lighting effect of a sunset from a flight as it approached Bangkok.

Si Racha Pier, Chonburi, Thailand

The Si-Chang Island (Koh Si Chang) is an island off Chonburi province of Thailand (where Pattaya city is located), less known among foreign tourists. This island offers a peaceful atmosphere with fresh air ideal for relaxing. The island has got fairly priced transport service (with the unique "skylab" tuk-tuks) and restaurants making it suitable for a low budget tour. A ferry service is operated from Si Racha Pier (also known as Choem Chumphon Pier) frequently at a nominal charge.

While I was waiting at the Si Racha Pier for the ferry to go to Si-Chang Island, the beauty of this Chinese temple attracted me.

The Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal

Durbar Square is a place filled with historic buildings, shrines and platform-sellers, just out side the old royal palace of Nepal, where I could feel "old is gold". I really loved the place, people and the food (especially Momo). Below photo shows the traditional handicraft sellers selling their excellent art work.


Thanks to Prabal Khanal and Sunil Shresta, I had one of my ever memorable trip around Kathmandu.
