NEPAL: Kathmandu – Graffiti Thamel – Amrit Marg Collaboration Wall

In the northern part of Kathmandu’s Thamel district, there is a graffiti wall featuring some impressive pieces. It is a collaboration among several artists, including characters inbetween. The wall runs along the eastern side of Amrit Marg all the way to the intersection with Tridevi Sadak. Those photos were taken during the election day, therefore almost no vehicles were allowed on the streets, which means it was possible to photograph the whole wall without obstacles.
