Ama Dablam and the old bride below Tengboche

by into-thin-air

For many years I have looked at paintings by local artists on display in the galleries in and around Thamel and this year finally splashed out and bought one myself.

The photo is of the painting I chose, Ama Dablam and the old bride below Tengboche and if I say so myself it is a beautiful painting.

I chose The Nirvana Art Gallery, which is on the same street as The Kathmandu Guesthouse, same side of the road as you head towards Durbar Square.
Lots of paintings to choose from (This was the hardest part – Selecting the painting) and I thought that the prices were fair.

These painting make a wonderful souvenir as well as providing work for local artists, so buying one is a Good thing to do :-)

What to pay: Prices vary by artist and size as well as your negotiating skills, I bought a wonderful large acrylic on canvas for around $60
