One of the things that I tried to do during my trip to Kathmandu was to take more videos, as I think they're great at showing a different perspective from photos. I hope you enjoy them!
This was in one of the little Suzuki taxis taking us from central Kathmandu to Swayambhunath - I stuck my hand out (not too far!) of the window so that I could capture the incessant honking and noise, as well as the general feel of the city streets.

This is us at Swayambhunath, the monkey temple, attempting to increase our lucky chances. I don't know if the fact we were throwing UK pennies in, rather than Nepalese rupees made a difference, but I did manage to hit the platform which was pretty good!
Another video from Swayambhunath, showing the monkeys being quite excited about having just been fed some apples by a visitor. Mazida wanted to take one back with us...I wasn't so sure!
This video is looking out over a square in Bhaktapur. It was just lovely being up there (we're atop a temple) and looking out over the cloud covered hills. I also really liked the roofs covered in grass - looked like you could graze a goat on some of them!
I particularly like this one - it shows the view from the 'hippie temple' in Kathmandu's Durbar Square. I could totally imagine how people could just spend hours and hours sitting up there, just taking in the sights. It was so cool to see the square so alive with people - not just a staid monument area.
And finally the Boudhanath stupa. The video is taken from the first tier of the stupa, looking down. It was so magical there, really an amazing place.
