13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Biking to the Stupa

This is outside one part of Kathmandu most effected by the earthquakes in early 2015. This bike was owned by an elderly man who was currently paying tribute to Buddha at this monument. He most likely biked a few miles in the rubble to reach this place of worship.
