Bhaktapur is the third of the ancient royal cities of the Kathmandu valley. Behind the golden gate of Sundhoka lies the ancient royal palace complex.

Very, Very Old Audio….

I think this audio book was re-recorded over a pair of 1930’s speakers in an old library, somewhere in a lost jungle in Nepal. There’s some good information, but for entertainment only. The info isn’t deep enough to give the listeners any idea about a place, or a location.

“There is Nepal. You see some temples. Some people are Buddhists, some are Hindus. You see some animals. Oh, the sky is high. Some rocks are bigger than others… The end.”
