background
The city Thimi, also known by its old name Madhyapur, is only about 8 km west of Kathmandu. Most of the inhabitants belong to the Newar tribe. In contrast to the nearby capital, time seems to have stood still here. There are still numerous old houses in the traditional architectural style. Most of life takes place on the street, you can watch potters at work, next door the grain (often wheat) is still threshed by hand, and in some houses you can watch the women cooking and baking through open windows and doors .
