Hi!
The photos are very nice, thank you.
We are going to Nepal, could you please let me know if making photos inside are allowed or you made these photos in partizan manner? :)

Best regards,
Nadya

Responding to Nadya:
Visitors are allowed to take photos in most of the museums.
These photos were taken while I worked for Nepal Tourism Board’s websites,
more than two years ago, so we had special letter of request.
