Hanuman Dhaka is one of the famous place for tourist and locals. Magnificent historical elements and artistic structured temples are the beauty of this place. This day the Photo walk Nepal’s member had opportunity to take various type of photos. The place was filled by locals and tourist and they all were enjoying its morning environment. Specially children, they were jumping and enjoying scaring away pigeons of the ground while they were being fed. It was really an amazing moment to capture all the beauty, happiness and excitement of peoples. But sadly we only had few hours to take photos which was not enough. Later we came back with some really meaningful and beautiful photos and amazing memories.
