How to Get There

Hi guys, I'd like to continue my story when I visit Nepal with my High School friends. After visit Boudhanath, we go to National Museum of Nepal. This museum is located in the western part of Kathmandu near the Swoyambhunath stupa in the historical building which was constructed in early 19th century by General Bhimsen Thapa. To reach there, we take taxi for saving time. Hehehe...
